That's not a 10 Cambridge, it's a 10 GS1. Very Happy

Always wondered what the 'GS' stood for?

I think it's just a model designation, based roughly on the size and type of the vehicle. The Austin 8 was AS1, then there was the A30/35 AS3, AS4, AS5 and the 2 door versions i.e. A2S4. Could have possibly stood for Austin Saloon?

The 10 was GS1, then GS2 was the floor change Devon, GS3 the column change and GS4 the Somerset. May have stood for General Saloon.

The Atlantic coupe model designation is BE2. Work that one out!
