Great thread. Can’t find a photo of college car my dad got for me. Mint condition (brought over on the Queen Mary I- in the hold, and came with a full maintenance record from bought new. An English Austin Cambridge A-55 MK II 1959. Leather seats, shift on the column, 1.5 L B series 4 cylinder. 4 door, converted to left side driver for US. Lasted a long while. The Flying A— friends noted the A-55 lettering on the “boot”/trunk looked like “A@@”-and perfect match to driver. It was a cool car. Austin being the premier producer of the famous London cabs— don’t see them much anymore over there. Endurance like a Checker Marathon.
