This is a very good model indeed from the original
Corgi brand launch in 1956, they were not all this good and it is truly one of
the best.
Production ran from 1956 to 1961. At launch it was
available in a range of single colours taken from the full-size Austins
available at the time, pale blue, turquoise and a couple of shades of grey. In
1959 Corgi gave there cars a bit of a once-over and introduced some brighter
two-tone colour schemes and for the Cambridge this consisted of green/cream,
two-tone green and metallic silver over metallic green. A mechanical version
with a flywheel/friction motor was also made (201M)
