Apart from one small thing; the chrome side strip on the Austin A55 Mk II Cambridge usually only went from the middle of the rear door to the rear, while the full length strip was a standard fitting on the A99. Was there a A55 Mk II Cambridge with the A99 strip, or has the owner updated the car?

The grille treatment also looks like a cross between Oxbridge and Camford.
