Condition

7

The car is described as being in superb presentation following an older restoration, suggesting it's been well-maintained. There's no mention of significant damage, but as an older restoration, some minor wear is expected. The description highlights brightwork glinting beautifully and an interior in remarkably good order, but also acknowledges the age of the vehicle and the possibility of localized paint repairs common in classics.

Description Older restoration Floor change gearbox Believed to have been in a museum for 19 years Supplied with handbook and manual HPI Clear A museum-worthy survivor with period charm and classic British poise.

Few cars capture the genteel spirit of post-war Britain quite like the Austin Cambridge A55.

With its gently rounded bodywork, refined manners and unmistakable 1950s character, this lovely Mk1 example feels as though it’s been carefully preserved in time and, quite possibly, it has.

History and Background Our vendor was informed that this A55 spent close to two decades in a museum, and while that can’t be fully verified, a single glance across it makes it very easy to believe.

A previous owner is said to have commissioned a full bolt-up restoration some years ago, and the car’s superb presentation certainly supports that claim.

Showing just 37,000 miles (unverified), it comes with a tidy file of invoices dating back to 2013 and an original period marketing brochure.
