1939 Austin 10 GQC tourer
The Austin 10 was virtually a new car launched in May 1939 with the body shell incorporating the floor to give a semi-unitary structure. The car was completely restyled by Argentine born Dick Burzi who had joined Austin from Lancia in 1929. The bonnet was hinged at the rear, replacing the side-opening type on the old car and the radiator grille became rounded and there was no cabriolet. It was now available as four-door saloon with fixed or sliding head or as a sporting type four-seated tourer like this one in the photo.
Despite the outbreak of World War II, production of the Ten continued in large numbers; but there were no more tourers built. '
