The Austin Cambridge and Morris Oxford ranges became badge-engineered from 1959, and this model depicts the second generation Farina version from 1961. Available in a variety of single and two-tone colours reflecting the real differences between the Morris and Austn models, the front grille sections are also different. To date, this casting has not been used for any of the other, similar, models produced by BMC with MG, Riley and Wolsley badges.
