About the Austin A60 Cambridge
The Austin A60 Cambridge was the definitive mid-sized British family car of the 1960s, featuring sharp 'Farina' styling that smoothed out the fins of its A55 predecessor. Powered by the enlarged 1.6-litre B-Series engine, it offered improved torque and a longer wheelbase for better passenger comfort. While never fast, it earned a reputation for bulletproof reliability, becoming a staple for driving schools and taxi fleets across the UK. Today, it is cherished as a practical, easy-to-maintain classic that captures the essence of post-war British motoring.
