AUSTIN PRINCESS `EARLY 1952-1953`

NEVER AGAIN AT THIS PRICE

AP001 BLACK AUSTIN PRINCESS EARLY 1:43 scale  by Oxford

This is the early version, which was manufactured between 1952-1953. Many of us will associate the Austin Princess with the Royal Family, with whom it was a favorite form of transport. It is therefore no surprise to hear that the soon-to- be crowned Queen Elizabeth II had the first two off the production line, delivered to Buckingham Palace shortly after the launch at the Earls Court Motor Show in October 1952. Austin had commissioned the coachbuilders Vanden Plas to design a new 7 to 8 seater limousine and the Austin A135 long wheelbase Princess limousine with elegant 6-light coachwork was the result. The launch price was £2480. Over the years, it was to appear in a host of top class colours , including two-tone, all with superior interior trim, alongside lots of 'optional extras' for the ultimate driving and passenger experience. This is an untouched boxed it is in mint unused condition, and has not been removed from the packaging.
