Its nice to see them come back into favour, I have owned my Morris Oxford for 30 years now, they are a dream to drive , stately as a galleon
I adore listening to this man . His Knowledge and pronunciation of his words is really quite alluring really interesting to listen to
I have a 1963 Austin Cambridge that was stored for 40 years. In great original condition. It is a great car and really under appreciated.
My grand father had one of these in black. My dad borrowed it to drive us up to Thurso from Lancashire when I was 4 years old, I'm 61 now and remember the trip like it was yesterday. My grandfather even used to sit me on his knee and let me steer the car around in the local park car park. My very first experience of driving a car 😍
This is the identical colour and year of manufacture to my father's A60. He bought it after two A110 Westminsters (Mk I and II) because my mother said the Westminster was too big and heavy. We went on holiday to Pitlochry in it with family friends who had the equivalent Morris Oxford in maroon. The Oxford didn't have the Adidas stripe down the side and it had different rear light clusters but it was the same car really. We didn't have it for long because my father bought a new car every year.
My dad had two A60 estates in the sixties going into the seventies. A 1965 and 1968 looking at this brings back great memories.
My dad had three over time.
IT, is like riding around on a sofa , of times gone by , petrol at 5 shillings a gallon and a mans wages of £15 . Keep making these videos .
I drove a A60 for many miles when I lived in the UK from 1965 to 1967 most beautiful car to drive
THIS PROGRAM ON TV IS REALLY GOOD , MATHEWSONS THEY HAVE AND SELL EXCELLENT CLASSIC CARS ON IT ,AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM, THE [ AUSTIN A60 CAMBRIDGE ] WE HAD THE SAME CAR AS THIS IN MY FAMILY AND SAME YEAR OF MANUFACTURE , EXCELLENT CAR . ROB.
There’s a tv programme?
@@shawardara Yes, it's called Bangers and Cash, it's a great programme
My Dad had a Morris Oxford when we were very young, really comfortable car , but a rust box. That Cambridge is in brilliant condition.
Same here bud , dad had a white one , 67 , remember well , going to Devon on holiday , , can still remember the smell of the car inside , ahh great days m memories 😀
If I lived in GB in the 1980s I would have had one of these or a Morris Traveller - they were bargains then...I like my motoring cheap, cheerful and free of fuss. What a gem.
I had a 1962 Oxford in the late 60’s, luxurious car compared to my brothers Consul 375. Well I thought so anyway 😀 Petrol was 4 shillings and 9 pence as I remember and my wages at 21 were 6 shillings per hour = £12 a week. I thought I was rich back then 🤣
Morris Oxford, Austin Cambridge, Wolesely 1660, MG Magnette, Riley 4/68. Long live badge engineering!
Totally agree - leave it ‘as is’. Arrest what’s already happened and no more. Every spot of rust and imperfection is part of its history, it’s story.
My favourite uncle dave had an identical one to this a 63 pre index , great great memories of trips out in this car in the early 1970s the dash was fake wood as he had a magnetic st Christopher between the two dials and a skeleton key ring hanging from the rear view mirror. I miss you dave ,RIP.😢
My Dad had at least two of these Austin Cambridges and he loved them, we Waxoiled them every year!!! Then he bought an Austin 3 litre when it came out, shame the stupid self levelling suspension NEVER worked!!! Engine was great tho....
We had a 1959 Riley 4/68 and my dad taught me how to drive in it. Lovely car.
Derek, you talk so much sense
I could listen to you rabbit all night long.
Old school gentleman
nothing worse than an over restored classic
Old gentleman's car. The earliest cars 1959-61 have bigger tail fins that are the same as the estates.
What a beautiful car we seen one of these in Cyprus road worthy and the same colour too greetings from Scotland 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Beautiful car !!!
...
Back around 2002 a motor trader (great bloke) bought the Austin Cambridge (Morris Oxford) owned by Winston Churchill !!!
...
I opened the drivers door and looked in and wondered about the gentlemans life ???
...
I need not have bothered as something "booted" me right up the ass !!!
...
I swear the story is true.
MANY THANKS
Ken and Lynn could probably match the colours in cellulose paint so then small areas of the car could be blown in especially using an airbrush or a small spray gun
When I was a kid my Dad had a Wolseley 6 Farina in Maroon was a lovely car.
My father had the estate and I borrow it many times I loved it .
1st car I owned, brought from my Dad
A nice coat of Dulux household gloss should do the trick.
Is this car still available to buy.
Happy memories of a 60s childhood. The world just seemed better then, but I was only little, and knew nothing ! Lovely car. Miss you dad.
Great.car.a60.australia❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I like Cambridges 😊
I'm so in-tune with this guy, absolutely agree with everything he says, you can over restore cars like this and they lose a lot of their magic.
I hated the crash 1st gear
Dad bought a 1962 A60 and the sills were holed and front outriggers corroded through after three years. King pins and front shocks followed the following year at 45000 miles. The build quality of BMC was so hit and miss but as you say a smart comfortable car. This one you have probably wasn't made on the same shift!
My Datsun B110 1972 and B210 1977 had engine designs licensed from Austin.
Just a suggestion for these otherwise excellent videos...get a radio mike. They're not expensive these days and would help the viewer a lot. Just trying to be helpful!
Why, oh why, can't cars nowadays have bonnets held open with a locking strut mechanism instead of having a silly wire prop to keep them open?🐨
He’s right they did give a lovely ride honest plodder motor great sized boot for luggage !
The remote brake servo is noted. I'm assuming it has front discs too?
1965...I had a A60 it was Grey with a light grey/ blue stripe down the body. It was a lovey car never let me down!
I'd love just knocking round in that Cambridge. A beaut. I could listen to Derek read the phone book!
How much money are talking about in the UK for this A60
I raced loads of these in the bangers over the years but now me and my brothers save them plus we’ve got lots of the big farinas as well
My first car was the sister car, Morris Oxford, Green with a White Roof.
For some strange reason, never liked the Austin variant but I loved the Morris Oxford which seemed a bit more upmarket. In fact, I think the Oxford was the best of the lot but I can understand why some would disagree.
Lovely bit of kit, what not.
Nice! Love these cars
Clasic
A bit too lyrical me thinks. They were grim cars in period.
Call me a peasant,call me what you want,but i'd rather have that Bowler Land-Rover that was in the background at 1:38
These were rotten 4 years after going on road
"What can you do......"
I know what I would do - I'd put the silly old fart back on car washing duties.
He obviously knows more than you
don't believe a word
