The Austin A55 Cambridge was part of the original 1956 line-up of British cars. The mechanical version, with its flywheel friction motor remained in the range until 1959. Colours are Orange, red grey and cream with all of them being valued highly as it did not sell that well and there are fewer around. Look out though for an orange car as they are about double the value of the other colours.

It took me a long time to find this mechanical version, the one with the friction motor, and when I did it was in a very poor way - it had been repainted very badly indeed. I've had a go at restoring it and while it looks a lot better than it did I've made a bit of a mess of the silver paintwork. I used what I thought was chrome paint but it has come out grey. I may not have stirred it enough.
