Additional Information:
Easy project for the winter months, late model Princess, one of the last before it was replaced by the Ambassador.
Right, onto the good bits.
This runs sweet and drives ok, the 62,000 miles believed to be genuine going by the folder of paperwork that came with the car. It has just had a brand new cam belt fitted along with both auxiliary belts after the front lower oil seal was replaced. It's factory fitted with power steering. Looks to have had a rear exhaust fitted recently too. I've not put it in for an MOT so I'd not like to guess what it needs, everything seems to work ok bar the horn, it sounds like a fly farting so I'll chuck in a spare one.
Been fitted with a rev counter from an Allegro.
Bad points.
Well as typical of a BL car of the period, there's a few, bit of grot, although it has had some paint and rectification in the past.
Fuel gauge doesn't work, duff sender unit, although there is another sender/pump in the boot.
The vinyl trims on the rear 3/4s have rotted and need replacing.
Drivers seat has a huge worn area on bolster through to the cover over the foam, and rear back is sun faded.
May or may not require a patch or two.
All in all an easy project to get back on the road for some great retro action.
