The Crossley 20 hp was introduced in 1909. It became the 20/25 in 1912 and continued until it was replaced by the 25/30 in 1919. The number made is not known but is estimated at 2100. Many ex RFC tenders were later rebodied as cars and given civilian chassis numbers. Before 1919 chassis numbers were not segregated by model type and are in the range up to 14000. The engines were numbered and date stamped and engine numbers and chassis numbers were close but not usually identical. Engine number 11152 is stamped July 1918.
