At the beginning of the 1960s, the A60 Cambridge was overshadowed by the two mid-range top dogs Ford 17 M and Opel Rekord, at least in Central Europe. In terms of performance, it lagged slightly behind the two 1.7-litre cars, and the first gear was not synchronized. On the other hand, the Brit scored points with very good comfort, foolproof steering and plenty of storage space. This original test report from 1962 summarizes the findings of the time and is accompanied by historical images and sales material.
At the end of 1962, the magazine 'hobby' carried out a major comparative test with eleven saloons from Germany, France, England and Italy. In a tough competition, hot-blooded family sports cars had to be compared with utility saloons designed for comfort. The fact that a German representative won was not a matter of course, as places 2 to 4 went to "foreign countries". This article reproduces the original wording of the report at the time and shows all eleven sedans compared in many archive photos.
