Description of 1959 Rolls-Royce Other 1959 Austin Vanden Plas Princess Limo |
Up on the auction block is my White on White 1959 Austin A135 DM4 right drive Princess Limousine withonly 5500 miles on it. She has the Rolls Royce conversion (Grill, ood emblem "flight of ecstasy", ubcaps, nd bumper (which makes it look way better in my opinion). The limostarts, uns, tops, nd turns great! The interior has been totally been redone in custom commercial White vinyl (likemarine boat vinyl) so it's really durable when it comes to drink spills, ears, nd tears!The headliner was alsoredone in the same vinyl.A/C has been added to this limo as well (stored in the trunk). These "Princess DM4" limo'swere handmade only in London in extremely low numbers (200) and mostly sold toroyal families, iplomats, nd the rich. I was told thatthis limowas actually used to cart around diplomats in the UK (hints the flagpole rods on the front bumper). Originally a black on black limo, he was totally changed to white on white and was to be used in the Wedding Limo business(if she was i have no idea). In fact, his is actually why I bought this limo, ut have had different life plans (baby and new job)that will no longer let me do that. So in short, homever buys this limo is getting a rare wedding Limo business fleetcar that will actually pay for itself! The Good:
Super low reserve! I am already losing a ton of money on this, o no low ball offers please. Some history: The Austin A135 Princess Long Wheelbase Saloon Limousine (DM4) were introduced in 1952. The automatic transmission and power steering from Princess IV were fitted from 1956. The marque name was changed from Austin to Princess in August 1957, and then to Vanden Plas from July 1960. The long wheelbase models continued to be built by hand in limited numbers as the Vanden Plas 4-Litre Princess Limousine, ntil 1968. All now being parts of British Leyland, he Jaguar Mark X-based Daimler DS420 was initially produced at the Vanden Plas works in Kingsbury, orth London then replaced the Vanden Plas Princess within the new, lightly rationalised range. This had been foreseen in 1966 when British Motor Holdings (BMH) had brought BMC and Jaguar together, nd stopped development at Vanden Plas of the potential successor car. The limousine was luxuriously appointed with lots of polished wood, ptional Mohair rugs and radio with controls in the armrest. Among the long list of available extras were monograms and a flagstaff. The driving compartment was separated from the rear of the car by a division with an optional telephone for the passengers to communicate with the driver. The driving seat was finished in leather but the rear seats were trimmed in cloth, he usual arrangement on many luxury cars of the time. Feel free to email, all, r come out to see her!! I will only accept Paypal for the deposit! The final amount can be done via cash (in person), ank transfer, nd or certified bank check (the limo will not be released until funds have been verified). Thanks everyone and good luck! |
