The Ford Model C Ten was a car from Ford built in the United Kingdom between 1934 and 1937. The car was also assembled in Spain (Barcelona) between 1934 and 1936. The German version produced in the same period was named the Ford Eifel.

The car used an enlarged version of the side valve engine fitted to the Ford Model Y that was increased to a capacity of 1172 cc by increasing the bore from 56.6 mm to 63.5 mm but keeping the stroke at 92.5 mm. A standard engine would produce convert|30|bhp|abbr=on at 4000 rpm. This engine became a favourite for many engine tuners in post war days and gave a start to several sports car makers including Lotus Cars and remained in production until 1962. Suspension was by the Ford system of transverse leaf springs with rigid axles front and rear, a system little changed since the Model T. A three speed gearbox was fitted.

A four seat tourer, now much sought after, joined the saloons in mid 1935 and a de-luxe version, the CX, with chromium plated trim was available from late 1935 to early 1937.

The car could reach 70 mph (110 km/h) and return convert|35|mi|km to an (Imperial) gallon.
