Austin 14

The Austin Fourteen was a 1.7-litre saloon introduced by Austin in August 1936, sold as a Goodwood saloon with a fixed or sliding head or as a Goodwood cabriolet. Although Austin classed it as a Fourteen, the engine size was taxed as a 16 horsepower car. The performance of the engine carried over from the Light Twelve-Six was disappointing, and a much smoother revised version with nearly 20 percent more power came the next year. The body was all steel and sound insulated, with an adjustable steering column, flush-fitting footrests behind the front seats and blinds on the quarter-lights, and it carried four comfortably with room for a small fifth in the middle of the back seat.
