The Atlantic was a single generation, one of the first post war cars engineered from scratch by Austin, said to be styled from a thumbnail sketch by Leonard Lord, though the styling was more likely the work of the Argentine Austin stylist Dick Burzi. It was launched initially as a four seat convertible, making its debut at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show, with production models built between early 1949 and late 1950. Its engine was a 2,660 cc four cylinder of 88 bhp. Its model years run from 1948 to 1952.
