1956 Austin A-50 Cambridge Saloon LHD

[@morganmartino1071]

Wow, that trunk is massive!

[@nygelmiller5293]

Fantastic colour interiors on this model - specially this one! It would look really great, with a slightly grey-ish silver coat of paint! Please do it! That would look terrific, specially as you could not GET metallic on Austin cars of that era!

[@2stroketurbo]

Yes it could be so classy

[@jamesgibson5606]

I love the 'trafficators' (turn signals) on the B Pilar these were on most English cars in the 1950s when you wanted to let other vehicles know you were turning the driver would activate them and they would pop out and illuminate to show which direction you were taking.

So many projects

[@2stroketurbo]

***** yes. you have no idea.

[@GoliathAngelus]

No i don t,,i wished that i had the money to visit you.

[@entity2636]

Good New Years resolution :) I think most of us, your subscribers, are morally supporting you. Don't hoard cars, don't let them rust away beyond help

[@kstadden]

Now, there's a car of which I was completely unaware. Looks well-designed. I enjoy the continuing education.

[@2stroketurbo]

kstadden glad to enlighten you ,,,,

Hello just wondering did you ever fix your Cambridge .Bob from the UK.

[@2stroketurbo]

Hi Bob, I sold it. Wish I hadn't.

[@roberthorseman7432]

@@2stroketurbo That's a pity you would've liked it I'm recommissioning mine at the moment an 60 version😁.

[@whorayful]

That's a BMC 'B' series engine, small bore long stroke engine, heaps of torque but not a lot of power, same engine was used by Morris in their 'Major' model, although they used a semi down draught S.U. carburetor, I've got a '59-60 model. Look after that radiator, it's made of brass and worth a fortune.

[@Le_Rennais]

what i don't understand is what are you going to do with all these old cars you restore - Do you plan to sell some of them one day or another ?

[@2stroketurbo]

cacaaleau nope. I like to tinker.

[@darrylmcleman6456]

there should already be a hole in floor with a cover plate. put 4spd. floor shift trans in it. Your biggest worry is the front hydraulic wishbone shocks.

[@Chrislinfordnl]

I think these guys know how to get your transmission fixed: www.acwcc.org/ or : www.earlpart.co.uk/

[@marcheynderickx7985]

Hi 2stroketurbo, I have an odd request. We have a 56 A50 and the column shifter bracket is missing. Would you be willing to take a picture and a few measurements of the bracket? Thanks!

[@farveree]

Getting a gearbox in the UK should be possible, be expensive to ship though I would imagine. I was wondering if the Metropolitan's box could be used also, might be worth inquiring, there are more of those in the States. Body's in good condition , shouldn't take a lot to put right I would have thought. Good luck anyway.

[@2stroketurbo]

farveree The A-50 gear box is a 4 speed, where as the Nash Met. is a 3 speed , from what I know.

Have you tried the UK to source a transmission?

[@morganmartino1071]

Weren't the mets made in the same factory? Such a cute car

[@2stroketurbo]

Morgan Currie probably but I'm not sure

[@Statimtek]

Lucas "Prince of Darkness" electrics?

[@2stroketurbo]

Statimtek yes! wait..who just turned out the lights ?

[@whorayful]

Lord Lucas, the dark lord, was badly maligned, his electric systems worked perfectly, if you could keep all the smoke in the wires. That was where he went wrong using cotton wrapped wires. The cotton was porous, letting the smoke leak out.

[@KiovOnRBLX]

if you decide to make it run, make a video of it

[@2stroketurbo]

KiovOnRBLX will do !

[@gearnoggin]

Cool Car!

[@mordoor5371]

How many cars do you have ?LOL. That is a neat little car .You have to do it some justice lol .Take care .

[@2stroketurbo]

Mordoor 53 too many. But I really enjoy them

[@jwt10169]

If you decide to sell this car let me know. i love old english cars and i know where there is a transmission.

[@2stroketurbo]

jwt10169 Sorry, I got confused. I thought you were offering a transmission for my A50. I'm not sure I want to sell it but maybe.

[@zzzdogutube]

TOO BAD.
