A completely new car was announced for 1934 with a longer and stronger chassis with flexible mounting for the 2002 cc engine.
The gearbox gained synchromesh. Initially it kept the Six name (reflecting the number of cylinders in the engine) but this changed to Sixteen (which came from the car's tax horsepower category) in 1935 when it was joined by the 2561 cc Twenty.
It was replaced by the Fourteen / Sixteen / Eighteen range in 1935 and the Oxford name disappeared until 1948.
