NorfolkNWeigh Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Remember when the Japanese were snapping these up like cold sushi ? £10,000 was quite a common figure and most of them ended up there. Wonder if they've started coming back like MG RV8s and Discoveries ?I love the interiors but don't like the grille, so a mk2 1300GT Countryman with VdP interior for me please.

vulgalour Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 The other thing you're looking for is a proper* Princess, if this is the same one I think it is as posted over on the wedge forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickyv8 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 yes this is the same on the wedge forum, looking out for one too is your 2000 really that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Shame I haven't got a spare Princess to swap with you, I find these very charming and quite desirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Needs sills doing and a few other bits. Engine runs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 What's happened to the headlamp trims? They appear to be missing. Seems good value though. These really are lovely, albeit not as early as the super-plush early ones. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Headlamp trims appear to be about £30 a side on eBay - I had a look yesterday. I could be quite tempted by this, but have been recently bitten by putting down a deposit on a car I hadn't seen that had minimal description and too few photos. So I'm out.

rickyv8 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 i think the headlamp rims could be bought cheaper, i would have looked at my local car resto place for them but not quite had time with having a new born son,i have dropped the price, i would take £1700 as my lowest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 ^ I dare say you're right about cheaper headlamp rims being available, I'd guess they're a fairly common fitment and I didn't look very hard. Sorry if my post came across as stroppy, didn't really mean it to. Looks like a very sweet car, good luck with the sale (and congrats on your new arrival).

dollywobbler Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 If they're anything like Mini headlamp trims, don't waste your money buying cheap ones. They rot even more quickly than Minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyv8 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 no i didnt think it was stroppy atall just thought i had seen them cheaper, some things on ebay are slightly inflated for no reason (we all no this but im not starting a hate ebay thing or that) its something i really should have got ages ago but just never quite got too it thanks on the congrats, hopefully he will be into the classics seen at some or hopefully just have a keen liking for older cars, would like to have some classic when hes growing up so having drives and general running about is a bit more exciting than your modern car lol but instead of this vanden plas i would like something bigger like the rover or triumph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
