Link to "www.ebay.co.uk" (I think the 24 horsepower is a four cylinder model B engine.) Therefore both names were used and are correct, but since the horsepower figure was the base for taxation, the cars of the inter war era were generally named for the fiscal rating, for instance, Austin Seven, Ford Ten, Morris Twelve, and in the case of the V-8 Fords, Twenty Two and Thirty. The numbers are based on the piston diameter and number of cylinders, and are nothing to do with power outputs. You will find a full explanation here: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_horsepower and here: - http://www.austin7.org/Other%20Articles/RAC%20HP%20Rating/ -- Last edit: 2018-04-07 12:38:42
