Austin: A40 Cambridge
From Graces Guide
Note: This is a sub-section of Austin
30,000 were produced from 1954 to 1956.
A 1.2 L straight-4 pushrod engine B-Series engine based on the one used in the previous Austin Somerset powered the new Austin Cambridge. A maximum power output of 42 bhp was claimed: power was transmitted to the wheels by means of a four speed gear box controlled with a column mounted lever.
After the A40 Cambridge was dropped early in 1957, the A40 name was re-used on the smaller A40 Farina, though that car, an early example of the hatch-back genre, was neither a replacement nor much related to the A40 Cambridge.
