This was my family car, as a kid in the 1970s... an Austin Cambridge:
The one my dad had was exactly like the one pictured. A little rustier in places perhaps. He got a Vauxhall Viva after the Cambridge got past being serviceable... although I believe the scrap merchant who he sold the Cambridge on to proceeded to renovate it, rather than scrap it.
No bullet holes, thanks to the much lower numbers of guns, and therefore gun crime, or the need for the use of guns in crime fighting, here. As a kid I just had to make believe the more holed rust patches were bullet holes.
I guess, also, we've never had any prohibition on alcohol, to speak of...
If I ever get a bit better at modelling, I'll probably have a go at modelling this... and some other vintage British cars... as I don't expect you'll be up for this one, Tom?
