The Crossley 3 litre Sports Saloon was manufactured between 1934 and 1935. Approximately 10 were made. Chassis numbers range from 43001 to 43010. It used the same chassis and possibly sometimes the body of the 2 Litre Sports Saloon. One survives in Australia but not with its original body and there are rumours of another in a museum in Germany.

£ 795 (1936) (The photograph is the one that appears in Crossley's own literature for the 3 litre but it is actually the 2 litre Sports Saloon prototype. It is not known if it was ever fitted with a 3 litre engine. ) |
 | This is a genuine 3 litre probably with a body by coachbuilders Ranalah. There are reports that the car survived in the Cambridge area until the late 1960s. |

£ 795 (1936) (This is the 1935 London Motor Show car) |
Some cars were supplied to Australia in chassis form to independent coach builders. One car is known to have been black with green leather interior.
The prices quoted are from contemporary advertisements. No independent test
reports seem to have been done.
