Austin 12/6

Tags: Locomotive, Train, Weapon, Website, Year.

The Austin Light Twelve-Six was introduced by the Austin Motor Company in January 1931 continuing in production until 1937. 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.There was among British car makers in the early 1930s a vogue for small capacity six-cylinder engines and the 12/6 was Austin’s example.
