![[Image: mpocketofrye01404152.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/mpocketofrye01404152.jpg) Crashed and overturned saloon possibly identified by the instruments on the dash? Spoiler... . -- Last edit: 2021-04-26 11:45:42 |

It’s a Sheerline or Princess type. Link to "www.classiccarauctions.co.uk" Scroll right for view of instruments. -- Last edit: 2021-04-26 16:54:28 |

Sheerline used since Princess had round speedometer (at least those I found). |

Link to "www.classiccarauctions.co.uk" Poetic licence? Mix’n’match? Clueless auctioneers? Lazy photographers? None of the above, apparently: “Compared with the styling of the Sheerline, that of the Princess was more delicately and expertly carried out..... but the whole thing was really let down by the facia panel, whose square instrument cut-outs were very obviously like those used in the Sheerline”. The Cars of BMC - Graham Robson, Page 65. Sheerline will do, it was probably just a rusty heap anyway. -- Last edit: 2021-04-26 21:00:23 |

Princes 4-Litre limos had round instruments, but the Sheerlines and A135 Princesses seem to have had same dash with square dials, as jfs link suggests. Can't see other differences in main, but windscreen shapes may have been different with Sheerline having slightly vee'd profile and rounder corners, while A135 flatter with squared corners. However this is not definite, and Sheerline seems safe policy here. |

Page 67 of Robson’s book has a picture of a Princess lwb limousine facia with a round speedo, so it must have changed later on. No turbo boost gauge or rev. counter though. -- Last edit: 2021-04-26 21:06:50 |
