1935 Austin Twelve-Six 'Ascot'
The Austin Light Twelve-Six is a 14 tax horsepower car with a 1496 cc engine that was introduced by Austin in January 1931. It was named by Austin Light Twelve to separate it from the well-established Austin Twelve. The general public then dubbed the original Twelve Heavy Twelve but Austin never used that name. The Light Twelve-Six remained in production until 1936.
Current catalogue after August 1933 (cars supplied with either 13.9 hp or 15.9 hp engines for the same price):
saloons: standard £205, Harley £225 or Ascot £235, the last two with sliding heads (sunroofs). '
