Beautiful old Vanden Plas Princess stood out from the crowd!

Had to do a bit of work on this to erase some flags that were flapping around the front of the car, but hopefully it is still worth sharing.

The lack of a tailgate in the Princess was seen as a major drawback but the other major weakness of the Princess - that of its performance - still wasn’t properly addressed with the Ambassador. The Ambassador was certainly more versatile and had much better packaging than its forebear but it was no performance car when compared with its rivals. Nevertheless, Autocar - though under whelmed by its performance - were enthusiastic about the Ambassador and gave it the thumbs up; their road test of 10th April 1982 said of the 2.0HL, “The Ambassador’s strengths are its ride, good (for most people) seating, its frugal-for-two-litres economy, all for a very good price, which makes it exceptional value for money.” Source: www.leylandprincess.co.uk

Loved these cars when I was a kid, although I always thought the ones with the twin headlights looked best.

Used to love these back in the day ... still do!
