SiC Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 That's where this thread got to! I've been maintaining this offline and this thread is woefully out of date. The Photobucket debacle has not helped. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to sort the images of cars and their details for ease of viewing. Ideally it could do with me setting up a niche little website folks can browse and add to, but I'm no good at that sort of thing.There are chrome plugins that fix photobucket for you.E.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/photobucket-hotlink-fix/kegnjbncdcliihbemealioapbifiaedg?hl=en Then can right click on the images and save to file, numbering them. After that, go back in and upload them on here, then can replace each in turn. Absolutely pain in the arse, but it's the least awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted March 30, 2018 Author Share Posted March 30, 2018 No need to delete it from this point. The bit that needs to be tidy is. I didn't have a picture of yours as far as I know, I think you described it previously at some point which is why it's on the list. Nice to put able to put a 'face' to a reg now.

captain_70s Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 EAS 602X is the second Princess I failed to buy (the first being ASE 698 which has quadrupled in value since I couldn't afford it at £700) Last on the road at some point in the 1990s IIRC and was located in a yard in Morayshire when I last saw it a couple of years ago. It sold for £400 on eBay, not sure what happened to it, it's still SORN'd. vulgalour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 P is the year of the Police Princess. I have learned this because after saying I hadn't found any time, I'm at a loose end for an hour or two so I got all the P cars updated with images.

vulgalour Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 That's enough of that for tonight. S is image updated now. Remember, if you've found any pictures of Princesses and Ambassadors, do feel free to stick them up here. Also, if you can remember the reg and any other details of a Princess/Ambassador you have known and don't have a picture, that would be useful too. My goal is to make as comprehensive a list as I can of as many of the cars that existed as possible. I shan't get every single one, but I hope it's useful in tracking more information down whenever a new one appears or if someone is trying to find a car they want to be reunited with or know the fate of. I'm also always interested in service wedges, especially any pictures of them serving as taxis which are particularly difficult to find.

Dave289 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Are you using the forum uploader or something else? I have tried clicking on My Media, but it appears that I must first have uploaded the images to this community for sharing, and I don't know how to do that. I have tried clicking on the Image logo, but it then asks for a URL under image properties, but these images are on my hard disc, which doesn't have a URL. I have tried Control C to copy them from my hard disc, then Control V to paste them in a new post here, but although they are displayed, when I select Post, an error message claims that this format is not supported (jpg). Never mind, I don't have time for this .... you can see the images on the Princess Facebook page, it was very easy to upload them there. Perhaps you can figure out a way to copy them from there to here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
