Aires Andrade’s Farina Austin looks an unlikely rally winner, but has taken victory in an aroundthe-island event
There are just two Austin Cambridgeson Madeira, and chauffeur Aires owns the only one that’s currently on the road. Originally black, it came into his care in 1998 and he uses it regularly, often taking the family on outings around the island. His wife and children adore the car – but they’re not the only ones. “It’s so popular that the previous owner wants to buy it back because his family misses it,” laughs Aires, who says that the Cambridge offers a smooth ride. “Mind you, I’ve now got grey hairs because all my life I’ve driven old cars that aren’t as comfortable as this!”
