With overhead valves and Zenith down-draught carburettor the smaller engine produced 36bhp at 4000rpm and the 1781 cc produced 43bhp at 3500rpm. The power was transmitted to the rear axle via a single-plate clutch to a 4-speed gearbox, with “silent third” and synchromesh on 3rd & 4th gears. Twelve volt electrics were fitted. The Cadet chassis was shortened by {{convert|6|in|mm|abbr=on}} and extra cross-members added. Semi-elliptic leaf spring suspension was fitted to front and rear axles. The factory standard bodies used many panels from the Cadet but the radiator was now sloped back slightly and the filler cap was under the bonnet. All the windows used "Triplex" toughened glass. The chassis was also supplied to external coachbulders. The launch price for the standard saloon was GBP195 allowing Vauxhall to advertise a 12hp car for less than GBP200. Unusually, the 14hp ASX was sold for the same price and became by far the better seller. Body types
23,294 cars were produced. [2] Model DY/DXThe model was revised in 1935 and given new designations although they kept the same engines. The chassis was re-designed with Dubonnet type independent front suspension enabling the engine to be moved forwards. A revised version appeared in 1937 with a curved radiator grille and pressed-steel wheels replacing the wire-spoked ones. 20,026 of the earlier cars and 39,537 of the post 1937 version were produced.[2] References{{Commons category|Vauxhall 14}}1. ^{{cite book|last=Culshaw |author2=Horrobin |title=Complete Catalogue of British Cars |year=1974 |publisher=Macmillan |location=London |isbn=978-0-333-16689-5}} 2. ^1 2 Michal Sedgwick & Mark Gillies, Vauxhall J-Fourteen-Six, A-Z of Cars of the 1930s, Haymarket Publishing Ltd, 1993, page 208 1 : Vauxhall vehicles |
