The sport of two liters, the last in 1931, classified could be had as a sedan fabric £ 695 or £ 625 roadster.

The great news Crossley came in 1931 with a leak story they were at the Olympia Motor Show, to enter the small car market with a 10hp model designed by WT Wishart The 1120cc engine was not a design Crossley , from Coventry Climax, and featured input head and exhaust valves side the same engine was used by Triumph, Morgan and other production began in 1932 with a family saloon, gym, sports tourer and coupe available with prices ranging from £ 265 to £ 310 Autocar tested a sedan and were impressed by its beautiful work finished wood and its top speed 67 mph in his tourer test Motorsport found capable of 68 mph describing the sharp acceleration, but complained of too flexible suspension the sports version was equipped with twin carburettors.

Joyce of go straight to bed as most competitors, was able to go play a round of golf 4 This lightweight saloon with a boot entered production to £ 325 £ 10 extra sunroof and became known after the Torquay Gordon rally Macandrew Co Crossley distributor of Edinburgh, entered the production prototype in the 1932 Scottish rally and also won its class in November 1 6 aluminum model announced Without starting, and was called Buxton after a car won the trophy Buxton for the best performance of the rally for a car from the city for 1933 box equipment pre-selection has been proposed as an option for £ 20 extra and 1934 previous 10hp models were dropped leaving only the list Torquay and Buxton.
An open sports model had appeared earlier in the year with a race down the engine adjusted using valves with two inputs and a shorter chassis and was named Vernon Crossley after Vernon Balls racing driver who led a team of 3 cars It was advertised as capable of 80 mph were seized cars at Brooklands and the TT but without success one survives car with a modified body and again was in the 1960s have s campaign.
According to the descriptions of larger cars for the 10hp range was also known as Quicksilver About 1,600 were made.
In the mid 1930s the Torquay and Buxton were old looking and if Gordon Macandrew has taken steps in getting CF Beauvais bodies Avon redesigned engine bodied Crossley adopted a conservative interpretation of the start of production in 1935, Regis, which was mechanically very similar to the previous 10 s but less and the diameter of the wheel is increased from 18 to 16 inches, however, ultimately very little Crossley version have been made that the preferred public paying the original Beauvais design this was done as a saloon or tourer with prices ranging from £ 335 to £ 365 the new car was heavier than the old scores and performance has suffered from a model Regis 6 1500cc six-cylinder version of 12hp engine also appeared that was later also available in a 1650cc This was tested by the engine 1936 that found an animated car q ui is easy to drive well bodied planned and comfortable springing characteristics are measured performance figures were a maximum of 66 mph with a 0-50 time o f 25 seconds Fuel consumption is 21 to 25 mpg.

Total production of all models 10hp Regis was about 350 and about 450 12hp.
A real wacky Crossley was the rear Engined Streamline Burney based on patents which 25 were performed in 1934. One of the ideas of Burney was that heavy objects are to be made at each end of the car engine in the back represented one end and, unlike the Burney, the radiator and the battery offset to the front car used the engine 2 liters of the original silver with gearbox Wilson preselector He also retained the idea of storing Burney the spare wheel in one of the rear doors can not have helped the structure to help streamline the rear track is 13 inches shorter than the front car testers have a maximum of 78 mph and could go faster than for the repair work on the Brooklands track on style, they commented that the resulting appearance or not is pleasant to the eye is a matter of individual taste.
At least two examples survive, one in private hands and one in the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu There was a strange car and look so unconventional that it must be difficult to sell the price of £ 750 1934 was reputed to make losses so that the price of £ 395 in 1935 seems to be pretty desperate.

Although the mid-1930s most car production was limited to 10 and 12 hp models, the development has not stopped on the biggest cars in 1934 and aluminum bodied 2-liter sports saloon with new chassis and running gear and engine changed was launched before Wilson SELECTOR gearboxes were used The engine found refined fast and comfortable capable of 76 mph with a 0-60 time of 25 seconds in the third of a total of 17 April mpg was recorded at £ 695 it was expensive and only 25 were made including a remarkable 4 survive all different Besides the prototype, which was strong Crossley, all the bodies were made by Ranalah.

The final production car - 3 liter Sports Saloon.
What turned out to be Crossley last car design to enter production was 3 liter Sports Saloon This involves placing the gold engine in the chassis 2-liter sports saloon and was shown at 1934 Fair price 795 £ it seems that the only difference between the two cars was the engine, he made a final appearance and the Regis, the salon in 1935 with a new 4 light body by CF Beauvais but few were sold estimates production figures vary between 10 and 20 cars with possibly 5 to go to Australia in chassis form survives in Australia, but with the original body.

There was a final design, 26 90, one of which was built in 1937 and equipped with a large body of black area and a 3569cc engine Studebaker It seems that after their work on Regis and 3 liters, Avon also were invited to design a body for this car, but production has never been before.
He was last seen in the 1950s when they belong to a major Lyon and worn 1930 Manchester registration Nothing was heard for many years he still exists.
Auto production was suspended in 1937 ostensibly to make room for the War Department job, but in reality it seems slowly to have extinguished the last appearance at the British Motor Show was in 1936, but surprisingly a stand was taken in Melbourne 1938 a description of the end was too long and gradual and every now and then after a seemingly final period, an odd order or two would run off when a select group of brothers would repair in a corner of the work and provide an appropriate number of frames , which would eventually leave the factory as cars to complete engine Geoffrey Hilditch -1976.
With many other older names such as Triumph and Riley goes into receivership at the time, at least Crossley cars were spared that indignity.
