banger134 ◊ 2007-02-07 11:43	its a vdp princess based on the a135 not a princess 4 litre as that was based on the westminster
samyuk ◊ 2007-02-08 05:18	The VDP Princesses based on the Austin Westminister are the 3 litre Mk 1/II produced between 59-64 and the4-litre R between 64-68, the R came with an engine sourced from Rolls Royce, a 3909 c.c. engine. The limousine that served as the basis of the conversion carried a 3995c.c. Austin engine. It was officially known as a Vanden Plas A135 Princess 4 litre. http://www.vpoc.info/History.htm
