THE CAR

Registered in 1960 as a motor vehicle manufacturer in their own right within the BMC group of companies, they have since produced a variety of vehicles under the title Van Den Plas Princess.

In 1964, a ground-breaking deal collaboration between BMC and Rolls Royce produced the Princess "R" which was the BMC C Series body powered by Crew's FB 60 aluminium four-litre six-cylinder engine. The car's official title was the "Four Litre R".

We have for sale a 1964 model, which has undergone extensive bodywork repairs by ourselves and is at present having the interior refurbished. It drives very well and is keenly priced for such a sought after model. Comes with V5, 1 year's MOT and history file of work done.

THE INTERIOR
The upholstery is trimmed in grey leather and is in good original condition. The contrasting beige wool carpeting is also in good condition.
THE DASHBOARD
The dash is trimmed in black leather with the fascia in wood veneer. It is in fair condition, but could do with being renewed due to cracking. All Smiths instruments and controls are correct and in working order. The layout also benefits from the fitting of its original radio.
THE ENGINE
The engine is a six-cylinder of 3909CC producing 175BHP at 4800RPM and a top speed of 106MPH. It starts on the button, runs smoothly and is showing good oil pressure.
