Hi all,

I've been looking at some old pics of immediate pre-war, and post-war Austins, the small ones - either 8s or 10s, both saloons and tourers. Thing is, I'm not sure if I'm looking at 8s or 10s - does anyone know if there are any visual differences between the 8hp & 10hp, bar the tiny badge on the grille???

thanks, RJ

Eg, a 2dr saloon Austin 8 or 10 (1939 only, 2drs not made after WW2)

Hi
I asked a Ten driver this today and he said that the rear screen is split on the Ten and a single window on the Eight, he wasn't sure whether there were any dimensional differences.
