BSA Ten

The BSA Ten was a small car sold under the BSA Cars name and built by BSA's subsidiary The Daimler Company, announced in October 1932 with first deliveries in February 1933 after delays. It was a cheaper, less well finished version of the Lanchester Ten, with a smaller side valve engine of BSA design, made to meet the market of the Great Depression. It had a one piece pressed steel body with sliding roof, a Daimler fluid flywheel and Wilson four speed preselector gearbox, a cruciform frame and four wheel rod brakes. The Times reached 57 mph in a test. Bodies included a six light saloon and an open sports four seater, with coupe and Tickford Foursome bodies added for 1934.
