Sunbar ◊ 2006-03-13 12:00	1954 Austin A40 Cambridge or A50 Cambridge (100% sure). There was no external difference between these models, only engine size 1200cc for A40 and 1500cc for A50 - both in production at the same time (1954-57) but the larger engined car sold in far greater quantities. The A40 Cambridge was available as 2-door or 4-door the A50 was 4-door only. This appears to be a 4-door so could be either vehicle. See link http://www.co-oc.org/A50.html
