MORRIS OXFORD SERIES Vl FARINA




This 1962 example of a Morris Oxford A60 Series lV Farina is in very good condition.

Between 2011 and 2015 over £8700 was spent on its restoration and improvement including over £3500 spent with Steve Turner, who is a recognized specialist Farina repairer and secretary of the Oxford-Cambridge Owners Club.

The work Mr. Turner completed included a full engine rebuild, a new clutch, new leaf springs, new brakes, brake master cylinder, petrol pump, clutch master cylinder, suspension bushes, and numerous other parts.

Since then it has had a full body respray at a cost of £2630 plus the cost of some new panels where needed.

The car spent 2016 in professional storage at a cost of £1195 and recently it has had a new carpet set fitted.

The history file contains the current V5, the current MOT, numerous old mot certificates, an original owners handbook, a wonderful handwritten Motor Car Expenses Book covering the first few years of its life detailing mileage covered and petrol used and a large number of invoices detailing the restoration work carried out and the parts purchased.

The current MOT runs until September 2019 although it is MOT exempt and the recorded mileage is 72119.

The car will be licensed for twelve months from the date of sale for the new owner at no cost as the car qualifies for the Historic Taxation class.

UK wide professional delivery is available. Please ring for a quote. We are also happy to deliver to any mainland port for export.

1966 AUSTIN CAMBRIDGE (FARINA) - ROBERT HUGHES AUTOMOBILES

Well Good Morning to you, it's Griff again, the editor has allowed me out of the cave to select the "Classic of the Day"
After searching the classifieds I have settled on a popular car from the roads of the UK back in the now long distant past, it is also our first visit to Robert Hughes Automobiles.
1966 AUSTIN CAMBRIDGE (FARINA)
 A drive behind the wheel of a big Farina leaves little doubt over their appeal as a useable family classic. They are spacious and capable performers with a surprisingly advanced ride quality. Their lines are delightfully quirky with tail fins and lashings of chrome work. The interiors are richly appointed in quality leather with a very traditionally British BMC dashboard fascia. This automatic example was with its first owners up until the late 1990’s and since then has been a regular show attendee with enthusiasts. The paperwork is superb- two massive files dating from the original delivery invoice right up to the present. There is no doubt over the recorded mileage of 34,000 being genuine since new. Finished in Snowberry White with a Maroon side flash to match its interior, this is one of the very best survivors of this fondly remembered range.

1959-1969 AUSTIN A55/A60 Cambridge (Farina)


Overview

Pininfarina styled Austin’s Cambridges for the 1960s and turned in a smart job. As fins were in, the A55 Cambridge had them but its underpinnings were much the same as with the previous series of Cambridges. The 1489cc engines struggled to shift these heavy cars so, in 1961, engine size was increased to 1622cc and the car renamed the A60. Other changes were an increased wheelbase and cropped fins as fashion was turning against flash styling. BMC badge engineering resulted in Morris, Wolseley, Riley and MG versions, too.
