These are a bit weird in Aus as all 59+ Cambridges and Oxfords used 1622cc - there was no 1489cc as used on UK ADO9 versions. My BMC in Aus book lists this version as A60 ADO9, produced 1959-62 alongside Oxford (S5) twins, both coming as saloon and estate, plus the Wolseley 15/60. Aus then swerved the UK ADO38s, instead going straight to 6-cyl ADO40 ranges as Austin Freeway and Wolseley 24/80, with no Morris versions.

In UK ADO9 estates did not arrive until Sept 60, so I doubt my book claim of 59 onwards for Aus is accurate, so re-dating this one to 1961; it's not a Freeway as they had different format for colour split.
