Nope, nothing like that.Big green blob, attached to a machined lump of pig.2 fixing holes, one hydraulic, one bleed, one return

The idea of a princess sweeping around italian coastal roads is straight out the launch catalogue

[vulgalour]

I think this is the Princess that's actually the last known survivor in Italy, so it's pretty important we sort it out.  The front displacer would have been got if the first breaker I visited this year hadn't been sold and the second hadn't been squished.  I've been keeping my eye out for spares but I'm not aware of any at the moment, Princess spheres are pretty rare things.

yes,you're right,quite rare,plus,not the easiest thing to pull out.... i mean, a spark plug  ,that's easy, but A DISPLACER...it sits pretty much inside the car,almost unreachable for non experienced  folks like myself.... i kept it alive for so long...since 1985,when i bought it for 500 liras (500.000  = 250 Euros) and i spent  money  over the years, but never regretted it,has been faithful,took me all the way to Milan one day !

wow!! never seen so many together !! is there an adress ? where about is Meern? near maastricht ?

[trigger]

That's ace! And you've owned it since 1985! I didn't even know they sold them over there.

[vulgalour]

I meant to ask when I first saw the video and forgot entirely, are those wheel trims original?  I have never seen another Princess with a set and they look ace.
