BSA Ten and Light Six

BSA (British Small Arms Company) had purchased the Daimler Motor Company in 1910 and Lanchester in 1930. The BSA Ten was developed in different forms across the brands, with the BSA Ten announced in 1932. Power was given by a BSA 1185cc side valve engine mated to a Daimler fluid flywheel and Wilson preselector 4-speed gearbox. Standard wear was a 4-door 6-light saloon body by Pressed Steel or an open 4-seat tourer. In 1934 a Varsity saloon body and Peerless coupe were offered, and the Tickford Salmons Foursome was also available. In 1934 BSA announced the Light Six which was given a smaller, 1378cc, version of the Lanchester 2,390cc 6-cylinder engine fitted into the BSA Ten chassis to create a 12hp car. Production of the BSA Ten and Light Six continued until 1936 when BSA stopped producing versions of Lanchester cars in favour of their own Three-Wheeler and Scout models.

The standard body for the BSA Ten was the 6-light steel saloon by Pressed Steel	BSA Ten 1934 Mulliner. Sharing its chassis with the Lanchester LA10, the BSA Ten was offered as a cheaper Lanchester with a BSA sidevalve engine.	BSA Ten 1934 Mulliner. BSA created the Ten in response to the great depression and as a way of creating an entry level Lanchester. However, it was not a cheap car, and with this Mulliners of Bordesley Green coachwork it was hardly bargain basement.

Although the BSA Ten was intended to be a cut-price Lanchester Ten, the Salmon Drophead Coupe by Tickford Coachbuilders was priced at a 20 percent premium over a 4-door saloon.
