An addition to my collection, a story by Richard Pape a World War 11 - hero, who wrote the book " Boldness be my Friend " about his POW and Escape episodes
- A true story ! - well, with great embellishment.
That style of writing is in this book too! According to reviews at the time.
So taken with a grain of salt - a big adventure in a 1955 Austin A90 - Six, using the same basic motor as an Austin Healey 100 Six.
The car, well a version of it, he crashed the first UK supplied A90 in Norway and the Norwegian Austin dealers supplied a second car hence the Norwegian number plates, that car was also badly damaged at times in the adventure.
This is what is represented as the " Cape Cold to Cape Hot " Austin A 90 - 6 ".
As displayed in the British Motor Museum.
More photos of the car are on the Austin Healey thread
