Der Austin 20 war ein Pkw der Oberklasse, den die Austin Motor Company von 1915 bis 1938 fertigte. (de)
Austin Twenty is a large car introduced by Austin after the end of the First World War, in April 1919 and continued in production until 1930. After the Austin 20/6 model was introduced in 1927, the first model was referred to as the Austin 20/4. Before 1919 Austins had been expensive prestige cars. In the 1920s there were people who believed the four-cylinder Twenty comparable with if not superior to the equivalent Rolls-Royce. If the coachwork were light enough the Twenty could also give a three-litre Bentley a run for its money. The final inter-war version was the enormous, extremely elegant fast and powerful side-valve Twenty-Eight of 1939. The overhead-valve (25) Sheerline and its companion Princess were to continue the line after the Second World War; however, by the 1930s Austin had lost its aristocratic cachet, having become well known for its Twelves and Sevens. The deceptively potent four-cylinder Twenty found fame at Brooklands both in private hands and with works drivers Lou Kings and Arthur Waite (Herbert Austin's Australian son-in-law and competitions manager).

L'Austin 20 est une grande voiture qui a été introduite par Austin après la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale , en avril 1919 et dont la production a été poursuivie jusqu'en 1930. Après l'introduction de l' Austin 20/6 en 1927, le premier modèle fut appelé la Austin 20/4. Avant 1919, les Austin étaient de coûteuses voitures de prestige. Dans les années 1920, il y avait des personnes pensant que le quatre-cylindres de la Twenty étaient comparable sinon supérieur à l'équivalent de la Rolls-Royce 20 HP. Si la carrosserie avait été assez légère, la Twenty aurait également pu courser une trois litres Bentley. La version finale de l'entre-deux-guerres fut l'énorme, très élégante, puissante et rapide Twenty / Eight de 1939 à soupapes latérales. La (25) Sheerline à soupapes en tête et sa compagne la Princess étaient prévues pour continuer la gamme après la Seconde Guerre mondiale; cependant, dès les années 1930, Austin perdit de son cachet aristocratique, devenue bien connue pour ses Twelve et Seven. La trompeusement puissante quatre cylindres Twenty trouva la gloire à Brooklands à la fois dans le secteur privé et avec les pilotes d'usine Lou Kings et Arthur Waite (le gendre australiens d'Herbert Austin et son directeur de courses).
