Originally the property of ICI British Nylon Spinners it was one of two VDP Princess cars ordered together from BMC Agents,Howells of Cardiff.Always owned locally.The car was one of a number of Limousines used to convey various dignitaries on the occasion of the opening, by HM The Queen, of the original Severn Bridge crossing in 1967. Was used in Funeral Trade for short time before being dry stored for a number of years then latterly restored by the previous owner who changed the Black Coachwork to Kings Blue and retrimmed the interior in Bridge of Weir grey leather from the original brown. The Princess has been a very popular car in our Wedding Fleet not only by it's sheer size and ability to carry 7 passengers, but it's stunning appearance giving a certain air of presence to the occasion.Always greatly admired by all who see her, although many do not know what she is or can remember once you have told them! In 2015 the car was used in the BBC filming of 'Princess in Peril', shown on the One Show which re-told the attempted kidnap of the HRH The Princess Ann in The Mall,London in the 1970's. A DVD copy of the film is included with the car. The car is only offered for sale due to our retirement from the Wedding Car Hire business and offers the opportunity for the new owner to continue in this line if desired.
