An unsual 1960s British car is seemingly without an owner, and Red Deer RCMP are scratching their heads trying to find out who owns the almost certainly treasured vehicle.

On May 4, RCMP found and towed an Austin Cambridge from the Husky gas bar downtown.

Since then, police have tried to find the rightful owner, but have been unsuccessful.

The Austin Cambridge is possibly an A60 model, which were produced between 1961 and 1969. It is white in colour with a red interior and is in good condition.

In the car world something that unusual grabs attention. It was like having something frozen in time. It was in remarkably good shape, said Jim Sutherland, a local freelance writer who specializes in collector cars.

Red Deer Staff Sgt. Andrew Shepherd said neither the cars licence plate nor vehicle identification number yielded any results.

Were wondering why someone would move it there and walk away from it, said Shepherd.

According to Hagerty Insurance, a classic car valuation provider, the car would be worth about $9,500.

How did it end up there? said Shepherd. Someone goes into their garage and sees their pride and joy stolen, they usually phone the police. As of yet, nobody has done that.

Its not damaged, it is in nice shape, were all scratching our heads.
