I once had a 2 litre Princess as a company car - nice interior (for the period) - all I can say). And, a lot safer than the Morris Marina I had - could hardly take a bend on a motorway at speed without starting to roll over.

Maybe its a generational thing but I can't look at a Princess without thinking of Terry & June

The 2200HLS has Denovo runflat tyres. Another Leyland technology "discovered" by BMW 30-odd years later

They upgraded to an Ambassador later in the series.

My mate had a 2200 - YJO 99R ... went like the clappers.

At an NEC show the other year, I saw another YJO one - a red one - and had a good chat with the owner.

I used to pride myself on my photographic memory. Unfortunately it no longer provides same-day service.

Mine doesn't seem to have a film in it any more.

It’s probably full. Delete some old ones and you will then have capacity for new ones

This is really going to upset someone 😅😅

It appears to be in a breakers yard judging by the racking and the stripped 944 in front of it, so all fine by me. At least it will be going to some benefit of others.

The other car on thd right looks like the rear wing of a us spec 924/944, so id guess its a porsche breakers somewhere?

I was trying to save this Daimler from being scrapped, as I'm sure it will be of use/interest to someone.

Could the knowledgeable people on here please let me know what model and year it is?

[uk66fastback]

Early 50s Consort saloon I reckon ... but await someone who know (a lot) more ... !

Maybe earlier as not sure the Consort had the split rear screen ...

... whilst the end of the road came a while ago for this 2001 Proton Impian (its owner is a bit of a recluse and his/her house is in a poor external state too):

Ah! - Just like our bin men!: If it's not actually in the wheelie-bin, with the lid closed, they simply won't take the rubbish away!

He'll probably just track it down and take it away without the owners consent - Apparently that's the appropriate action with cars like this!

Funny you should say that.

I wonder where he is based, as over the last 20 years i've lost half a dozen semi classic project cars left outside on private
but not secure land.....
