64A60 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Bought my oldest car to date- a 1958 Austin A55 Cambridge. ? Has been standing for about a year but is now running and driving and will hopefully be back on the road shortly. tooSavvy, wuvvum, taxi paul and 29 others 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a hankering for something older for a while now and heard about this through word of mouth after the owner passed away in January. Not a perfect example but a straight, honest old thing and a good introduction to 1950's motoring. puddlethumper, DVee8 and Amishtat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrydicky Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 That Cambridge is seriously charming. Tweed Grey with Cherry Red interior is a lovely combination, it has its original seats and radio as well. Also, correct gear change! i would have done far better buying something like this than the rotten wreck I bought and subsequently spent thousands and many hours of labour on. It’s buried in the back of my parents garage at the moment - really must get the Royale finished so I can plough on with it. 64A60 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRi05 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 The 406 decided to flirt with me this morning by displaying ANTI POLLUTION FAULT and throwing an EML driving to work this morning. From googling it could be any generic fault, despite me immediately thinking emissions. Way to go Frenchies.
