Vauxhall 10-4

Der Vauxhall Ten oder Vauxhall 10 hp ist eine kleine britische Limousine, die zuerst auf der London Motor Show 1937 gezeigt wurde. Eine entscheidende strukturelle Neuerung war die selbsttragende Karosserie, die von Vauxhall nach dem Muster des Opel Olympia von 1935 eingesetzt wurde, um dem Typ eine lange Produktionszeit und hohe Produktionszahlen zu sichern. Jedoch kam der Zweite Weltkrieg dazwischen und 1940 wurde das Werk in Luton zur Herstellung von Panzern umgerüstet, sodass der Ten ab diesem Zeitpunkt nicht mehr gefertigt werden konnte.

The Vauxhall 10-4 is a British-built small family car produced by Vauxhall between 1937 and 1947. It was launched at the October 1937 London Motor Show and was the first British car to have a unitary construction body. The first car was delivered to a customer on 1 November 1937. The name of the car referred to its fiscal horsepower, which at this time defined the class in which it was to compete against cars such as the Morris 10, the Standard Ten and the Ford 10. The Vauxhall 10’s advertised horsepower in 1937 was 34 bhp (25 kW).

La 10 è un'autovettura prodotta dalla Vauxhall dal 1937 al 1940 e dal 1946 al 1947. Realizzata solo in versione berlina quattro porte, la vettura apparteneva alla categoria delle piccole berline per famiglie e venne presentata al salone dell'automobile di Londra nell'ottobre del 1937. La costruzione del modello fu innovativa, dato che seguì il sentiero tracciato dall'Opel Olympia con la sua struttura a monoscocca. Sia la Opel che la Vauxhall appartenevano infatti alla General Motors, e quindi era relativamente consueto che tra i modelli dei vari marchi del gruppo ci fossero delle similitudini.

Jedoch kam der Zweite Weltkrieg dazwischen und 1940 wurde das Werk in Luton zur Herstellung von Panzern umgerüstet, sodass der Ten ab diesem Zeitpunkt nicht mehr gefertigt werden konnte. Das Modell erschien noch einmal kurz 1946 mit dem gleichen ohv-Vierzylindermotor mit 1203 cm³ Hubraum wie vor dem Krieg, jedoch mit niedrigerer Leistung (und vermutlich geringerer Verdichtung aufgrund der schlechten Kraftstoffqualität). Sonst unterschied sich das Nachkriegsmodell nur geringfügig vom vor dem Krieg gebauten Vauxhall Ten. Die britischen Verbraucher, die nach dem Krieg wenig Geld hatten, wollten aber keine kleinen Limousinen im Vorkriegsdesign, und so wurde der Wagen kein Erfolg. 1947 gab Vauxhall die Fertigung des Ten wieder auf und konzentrierte sich auf größere und lukrativere Modelle, bis 1963 der Viva herauskam. Der Name des Wagens entspricht den Steuer-PS, die damals die Klasse definierten, in der der Wagen gegen seine Konkurrenten antrat. Dies waren z. B. der Morris Ten, Standard Ten und der Ford Ten Junior. Die Leistung des Vauxhall Ten wurde 1937 mit 34 bhp (25 kW) angegeben.

La costruzione del modello fu innovativa, dato che seguì il sentiero tracciato dall'Opel Olympia con la sua struttura a monoscocca. Sia la Opel che la Vauxhall appartenevano infatti alla General Motors, e quindi era relativamente consueto che tra i modelli dei vari marchi del gruppo ci fossero delle similitudini. Per realizzare la vettura, la Vauxhall spese ingenti quantità di denaro. Purtroppo, i piani di sviluppo vennero interrotti dallo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale. Lo stabilimento Vauxhall di Luton fu infatti convertito alla produzione bellica, e sulle linee produttive precedentemente utilizzate per la produzione automobilistica venne assemblato il carro armato per fanteria Mk IV Churchill. La Vauxhall 10, dopo il 1940, non fu quindi più disponibile. Il modello ricomparve brevemente sul mercato nel 1946 a conflitto terminato, con lo stesso motore a quattro cilindri in linea e valvole in testa da 1.203 cm³ di cilindrata che era offerto prima della guerra. La potenza però diminuì, passando da 34 bhp a 31,5 bhp. La 10 postbellica presentava comunque anche altre differenze. Il motore era montato anteriormente e la trazione era posteriore, e ciò rimase immutato. Però, a causa della scarsa disponibilità di denaro da parte dei clienti britannici, che era dettata dalle ristrettezze economiche susseguenti al conflitto, la Vauxhall ritirò il modello dal mercato già nel 1947, ponendo momentaneamente termine alla commercializzazione di piccoli modelli. Dalla fine della produzione della 10, fino al lancio della Vauxhall Viva nel 1963, la casa automobilistica britannica si concentrò infatti su vetture più grandi. Il nome del modello derivava dal numero dei cavalli fiscali, che all'epoca definivano la classe di appartenenza delle vetture. La 10 fu pertanto in competizione con la Morris Ten, la Standard Ten e la Ford Model C.

The Vauxhall 10-4 is a British-built small family car produced by Vauxhall between 1937 and 1947. It was launched at the October 1937 London Motor Show and was the first British car to have a unitary construction body. The first car was delivered to a customer on 1 November 1937. A structural innovation, following the pattern set in 1935 by GM's German subsidiary, was the Ten's integral (chassisless) construction. According to Maurice Platt, who transferred from technical journalism to a career with Vauxhall in 1937 (and would be employed as the company's Chief Engineer between 1953 and 1963), the Vauxhall Ten became known within the company as the million-pound car, which reflected the extent of the company's investment in tooling up for the new model. 1933 was the first year all GM vehicles were installed with optional vent windows which were initially called “No Draft Individually Controlled Ventilation” later renamed "Ventiplanes" which the patent application was filed on Nov. 28, 1932. It was assigned to the Ternstedt Manufacturing Company, a GM subsidiary that manufactured components for Fisher Body. As production began, unfortunately, the war intervened, and Vauxhall’s Luton plant switched to tank production and the Vauxhall 10 was unavailable after 1940. In 1938 and 1939 a two-door coupé version was also available, although it was built on a separate chassis as the smaller production numbers did not justify the tooling costs of a monocoque version. The 10 Coupé sat on a shortened and otherwise modified version of the earlier DX-series chassis. This meant that the more expensive coupé was heavier than the saloon and no faster, limiting its appeal although it fared better in some export markets. 55,000 Vauxhall 10-Fours were built until May 1940, when production was halted due to World War II. The model was re-introduced in 1946 with the same 1203 cc ohv engine as before, albeit with a reduction in claimed power output. The post war Vauxhall 10 was little changed in other respects. However, with British consumers cash-strapped, and the market for small family cars of prewar design closely contested, Vauxhall withdrew their 10 in 1947. From then until the introduction of the Vauxhall Viva in 1963, the company concentrated on larger and presumably more lucrative models. The name of the car referred to its fiscal horsepower, which at this time defined the class in which it was to compete against cars such as the Morris 10, the Standard Ten and the Ford 10. The Vauxhall 10’s advertised horsepower in 1937 was 34 bhp (25 kW). The 10-4 was designated by Vauxhall as the H Type, with the post-war model coded HIY. A bored out 12HP model was also built, called the 12-4. A light commercial model was also developed and sold as the Bedford HC. This has the same engine as the passenger model, and a 672 lb (305 kg) payload.
