Austin Cambridge First Start of the Year

First time starting my 1960 Austin Cambridge after it has been sitting all winter in storage. No battery charger, no starting fluid... just spin the key and see what happens!

Beautiful ! 😍😍 I wasn't aware they were market in North America! 😳😳 I don't remember seeing them growing up in Pennsylvania,in the 70s & 80s. I saw 60s Ford Anglias,Ford Cortinas,Hillman Minxes,Sunbeam Arrows(Hillman Hunters),Sunbeam Rapiers/Alpines & of course Triumph sports cars,etc. Also 70s Ford Capris,Hillman Avengers(Plymouth Crickets) & Austin Marinas/Morris Marinas.

A Cambridge was my first car in 1969, cost £365. Unfortunately three years later I rolled it into a field on an icey road in a Scottish glen.

To start a British car of this era always start in neutral without depressing the clutch even when warm. Actually they were pretty awful compared to other British saloons of the era. In the UK they rotted through in 2 years.

Due to the BABVVO and TEBBVO laws, all petrol cars will unfortunately soon be banned from public streets in the EU, CH USA and Scandinavia :-( In Germany, the Green People's Party has given the order to shorten the fuel supply from 2025 by reducing all conventional gas stations to just one state-run central gas station per city or county Now they even want to slow down all gas pumps by 20 liters per minute to 2 liters per minute... From 2027, some car spare parts will also be banned in the EU... such as exhaust systems, turbochargers and even some engine and gearbox oils. .. California and New York will do the same from 2027... So no more investing in petrol cars... They even created a new type of crime here called emissions and smoke crime . "Bundesabgasbespaßungsverbotsverordnung" BABVVO in Germany and HESCHLAVVO in Switzerland!!!!!!!!!!!
