The Austin Twelve was announced at the beginning of November 1921, after Austin's company had been in receivership for six months. It was the second of Herbert Austin's post World War I models and in many ways a scaled down version of his Austin Twenty, introduced in 1919, as the slower than expected sales of the Twenty brought about this divergence from his intended one model policy. The number twelve refers to its fiscal horse power of 12.8.
