1972 Vanden Plas 1300 Princess Mk2 Manual Showroom Condition For Sale

Vanden Plas 1300 Princess the ultimate in luxury that offered Rolls Royce comfort and surroundings in a popular four seater car from the 70s and before and now highly prized when available in this pristine condition

We all know that originality is prized far above a car that has undergone a total restoration, but finding such cars is becoming increasingly difficult if not impossible especially as garages from the old days disappear and peoples understanding of how to look after and store a classic car diminish with the passing of time.

I'm pleased to say finish of the coachwork of this little beauty is probably better than when the car was new, yes it has been painted once in its life as you would expect but even though it was done few years ago shows no signs of any deterioration . The front wings and sills were the usual rust spots but these have been replaced at the same time and the whole car has been wax protected to prevent any further problems in the future. The underside of the car again is perfect, with a new rear upgraded subframe having been fitted but the rest just shows a well maintained car with a nice clean black rust free underside and all the suspension working perfectly.

The navy leather interior on the car will just blow you away irreplaceable and in truly in amazing original condition. There's no signs of wear on the drivers seat bolster or the pull shut handles, leather retains that nice supple feel with no heavy sag look and the original carpets and headlining are spot on all the tell tale signs of a well kept car. Walnut dash and door cappings again all beautifully preserved with all instrumentation working as expected and showing just 66, 000 miles from new. The chrome is just fantastic and in quite remarkable condition again all original, but if one wanted to be very picky there is a small little dent in the rear overrider it didn't bother the last owner and I'm sure it won''t you I'm just looking for a fault really.

On the road you will find these cars very sporty with there twin carburetors they provide plenty of get up and go and can easily keep up with modern day traffic. Equipped with servo brakes and discs on the front so she stops well when needed, and is fitted with a push button Becker radio and electric aerial. First registered 1972 L reg, has been well serviced with recent new battery fitted. Easy starter with light clutch and gears, comes complete with V5c various receipts history folder and owners books, :you really can't help but be impressed on walking round this fine example or better still come and judge for yourself.

There is a full history folder with the car including all the books and manuals, two sets of keys, spare wheel and tool kit.
