1967 AUSTIN A60 CAMBRIDGE - DELIGHTFUL & SUPERB DRIVER! For Sale
This 1967 example has covered just 61, 000 miles and in the past 18 years has travelled a mere 7, 000. And, judging by the way she motors and handles, I would imagine it to be correct. This is one of the best big Farinas I have driven. She responds superbly, there's no crunching of the gears, no shakes, rattles or rolls and her steering is tight and positive. On top of all that, she's damned bloody comfortable to sit in!
A decade or two ago, these old girls could be snapped up left, right and centre. Not so now. Thousands were lost to banger racing and the taxi service. Good ones now appear to have found stable, loving homes and their owners tend not to throw them back into the classic car market place. Take a look around yourself and see just how few are offered these days. She has an MoT until June, although she will never need another after May 20 because of new legislation. Body-wise she is very nice indeed and mega straight. There's some minor paint blebbing to the bottom of both offside doors, but nothing at all on the nearside. Rear arches, where the doors open, are very good while she appears to be very strong underneath. Her interior is a delightful place to be with the seats covered in a deep, cherry red leather. The back rest of the driver's seat has had a complete leather cover fixed to the original which I am told was showing some cracking. It appears to be matching leather from a similar car and, apart from a little bit coming away at shoulder level, it's absolutely fine and blends in cleverly. A little "Blue Peter" work here and you will have to spot on! This is a really impressive Cambridge deserving of a new owner who will keep her in the manner to which she has clearly become accustomed.
Remember that these old girls are motoring antiques. Practically every one of them will have been subjected to work at some time in their long lives and they are bound to need more love and attention in the future. Context is all with classic cars. Please do not run your finger over them and compare them to your wife's new Chelsea tractor!
