Additional Notes

  • The Austin A55 Cambridge Mk I (1957-1958) carries a cooling system capacity of 6.82 liters, which represents the total fluid volume the system holds under normal operating conditions.
  • The A55 Cambridge Mk II (1959-1961) and the A55 Countryman (1960-1961) both share a larger cooling system capacity of 7.09 liters, with the notation indicating the heater circuit is included in that figure.
  • The capacity increase from 6.82 liters in the Mk I to 7.09 liters in the Mk II reflects a difference of 0.27 liters between the two Cambridge generations, likely attributable to the heater circuit being factored into the Mk II measurement.
  • All three configurations share an identical coolant change interval of 8,000 km under normal use conditions, placing the A55 in a relatively frequent service cycle by mid-20th century standards.
  • The Countryman variant, introduced in 1960, carries the same 7.09-liter capacity and 8,000 km interval as the Mk II Cambridge produced during the same period, indicating no cooling system differentiation between the two body styles.
