The A55 Cambridge was introduced to replace the A50 Cambridge, it was powered by the same 1489cc BMC B series engine though with a higher compression ratio: 51 hp

The model was restyled with a larger boot and a much bigger rear window. And rode lower with smaller 13 inch wheels, but the overall gearing remained the same by changing the rear axle ratio. Two tone paint was an option.

Van and pick-up versions based on the pre-"Farina" A55 were introduced in 1957, and remained in production until 1973.

A Deluxe version with Manumatic transmission was tested by The Motor magazine in 1957, which recorded a top speed of 77.1mph and a 0-60mph acceleration time of 27 seconds, the car cost £ 871 which included the draconian £ 291 special vehicle tax
