Austin A60 Cambridge

In the autumn of 1961 most of the BMC models received a facelift and the A55 Cambridge MkII which had been available since early 1959 was replaced by the new A60 version, Simliar in appearance to its predecessor, the A60 featured a modified radiator grille and small tailfins, although side-flashes contrasting with the body colour provided a distinctive new look. Under the bonnet was a 1622cc engine and now also the option of an automatic gearbox. Wheelbase and track dimensions were slightly increased which improved the handling. For 1962 the A60 Cambridges and their Morris Oxford cousins were offered with a diesel version of the B-series 1489cc engine. Most of those produced were sold for export markets, where different excise duties made diesel cars a financially attractive proposition. The A60 Cambridge continued in production until 1969 by which time a total of around 276,000 had been produced.
