VANDEN PLAS PRINCESS SALOON 4.0 ROLLS ROYCE ROLLSISÉE

 

I am glad this is in France, less chance of me ever seeing it for real.

Actually the front looks quite well done, but that back window......, and those lights, Hillman?

 

This is better. Not seen one with partition before.

That Princess thing is fucking odious. Looks like the unholy alliance of a Ford Corsair, Asquith van and 100E. Luckily you balanced the post with a rather lovely saloon with division (optional extra on both 3 Litre and 4 Litre R, I believe). I bet RR rued the day they ever flogged BMC that lump.

The RR-VP thingy is actually worryingly close to what might have been - the Rolls-Royce Rangoon, based on that paragon of luxury and good taste, the Austin 3-litre.

I like the Bentley Java based on the VP 4-litre though - why couldn't the one above look like that?

I want a motor with a partition for when I'm transporting the hideous infant

It looked a bit naff as a Rolls-Royce but the Bentley version is pretty decent. I suppose they were a bit worried about diluting the brand or whatever they'd have called it then.

I didn't know about that Java thing, that's well interesting. They did another Java in the late 90's on a 5 series floorpan did they not???

Appealingly tatty but road legal Belmont, with added 2.0 8v and uprated seats.

The number plate is worth a few hundred pounds on its own.

 

Normally this signifies a complete moron, but for once I think he's probably right.

No, a thinly veiled threat would be something more along the lines of "just watch your pie hole matey, I can be dangerous".

Would be sad if this was indeed scrapped..

 

Gutted/relieved I didn't see this auction or as one of my all time wants I would have had a good go at winning this...
