Austin - Austin 20
The Austin 20 was the Austin to appear after World War 1. The Austin company had built a large choice of models, and the range needed to be rationalised in order to have an efficient production line. The Austin 20 was a 4 cylinder 3.6 litre, powerful and fast good quality car which offered an alternative choice for a customer looking at something like a Rolls 20. However the Austin 20 was possibly the wrong choice in the single model policy, and by 1921 the Austin 20 needed to be augmented with a 12hp and shortly after 7hp models model. From 1932 the Austin 20 became a six cylinder 3.4 litre, still with side valve engine. The Austin 20 was produced until 1938, when a larger bore version took over.
Tyre size for the Austin 20 :
- The original Austin 20 models built between 1916 and 1928 had tyre size 820x120. Blockley make the best beaded edge tyres. If your wheels have been changed to a later type, Blockley will also have the tyre size to suit.
- The Austin 20 built between 1929 and 1931 was fitted with 31x5.25 tyres which is the same as 5.25x21 tyre size, which Blockley produces.
- The six cylinder Austin 20 built from 1932 to 1938 had original tyre size 600x18. We would recommend the Blockley 600/650x18 tyre which size has the perfect dimension.
