Found these cars resently, took just one picture, thought it was nothing but when I looked at it later at home I saw there is a Austin Cambridge in between. Is the car worth saving?

[Gaspode]

If by 'worth saving' you mean financial worth, then I would say not, it'll never be worth the time and effort you put into it. But If you like them, and want one to drive around in it, then why not.

Personally I hate the things. Big heavy lumps with rubbish handling and crap engines, but if it floats your boat, go for it.

being the rare estate version, it could be worth the effort to stand out among the crowd at the owners' club rally.

[Dodi]

It is worth saving I think, as you said the estate version is rare, I found out. Is known how many exist? What about parts?

That orange car at the front of the OP's picture is a Moskvich. Isn't it?

Was this picture taken in the UK?

[Dodi]

Yes, the orange car is Moskwich. And the black/orange car behind the Austin is too Moskwich. The picture is not from UK

I guess the photo is from somewhere in Eastern Europe then? Really surprising to see an Austin Cambridge in that part of the world. Can't imagine it's in Iceland (as per your profile location), scenery doesn't look right!

Can you tell us which country it was taken in please? Just out of curiosity. If it's Eastern Europe, I'd love to know how that Cambridge got to be there.

Sorry forgot to mention, this picture is taken on a farm in Iceland. There are still few places like this, cars sitting somewhere behind barns or hills, sometimes inside some old barns. Have been driving around taking pictures and getting some cars.

Wow, doesn't look how I imagine Iceland to look. I didn't think you had trees there

Would love to visit the country one day. And it would be a bonus to spot a few old Moskviches. I like old Soviet motors.
