1956 Austin a50 Cambridge Black 4dr SOLD
Here we have a very rare sight these days, a lovely little Austin a50 Cambridge, which has been with me for a couple of years, but unfortunately I have to many vehicles so this has been kicked out the garage, and I don't want to leave it outside all winter.
The car its self is in very solid condition, and has obviously had some restoration work in the past, the paintwork looks ok from 10 feet away, but on close inspection has a few area which could certainly be improved upon. I have tried to picture the worse bits.
The interior is all there and pretty good, I'd say all original, the seats aren't ripped and very comfy, would benefit from some leather treatment but certainly presentable, as are the door cards and headlining.
Mechanically its very good, starts easily and runs very smoothly. It has a 4 speed column change gearbox which all select nicely. The clutch is good, the brakes are straight and stop well.
Overall a very pleasant car to drive.
I would happily drive this anywhere without worrying.
Obviously tax and mot exempt due to age.
This car is perfectly usable as it is, it has been in and still is in regular use, or would be a great base to make a pristine example.
Please no silly offers, I'm not desperate to sell, in fact I don't even want to sell.. it just makes sense, something has to go.
Any questions or to view please phone

I could help with delivery if required, please ask.
