Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1956 righthand drive A50 Cambridge was used at a Malaysian Airbase and reportedly has only 5,000 miles. It comes with Malaysian documents and its UK registration, though mileage cannot be warranted.
Condition
6
While the car's condition is reportedly good, particularly the interior, the listing acknowledges the impossibility of verifying the low mileage. The car's age and the need for potential minor reconditioning suggest it's not in pristine or near-perfect condition.

This charming righthand drive A50 Cambridge from 1956 was resident of IADS Malaysian Airbase (Integrated Air Defence System) until spotted by RAF serviceman, Flight Sergeant Stephen Pollitt, who was also based in Malaysia and saved the car for Britain.
It was repatriated home in 2000 from the airbase where this car is understood to have lived a charmed life ferrying pilots and servicemen to their aircraft and, in doing so, accumulated just 5,000 miles from new.
Whilst we regret it's impossible to warrant this figure, it is plausible that the condition of the car is commensurate with this mileage.
The Butterscotch upholstery is in largely good order, the door cards still have plastic shrouding over them and the whole car has a very genuine feel about it, clearly having been cherished.
The engine barks to life at first attempt and runs sweetly.
The column shift gear selector engages gears accurately and propels the car with ease, though we have to confess you will not be setting any...
