Or rather a Vanden Plas Princess 3 Litre? I could be wrong... |

Mmmh… Actually you could be right… In an other scene, we see the car moving out: … but never its front end. |

If someone told me that "Princess 3-Litre" reads on the boot lid, in thumbnail one, I would say… er, I would shut my mouth. -- Last edit: 2013-10-12 02:53:05 |

Allez, a view of the steering wheel: |

(I was thinking that both Wolseley 15/60 and Vanden Plas Princess 3-Litre looked like over-sized 404… when I discovered that they were both designed by Pininfarina, like the Peugeot. Ts-ts-ts…) |

Definitely Vanden Plas Princess 3-Litre [ADO37], 1959-68. As I've said elsewhere, unlike Peugeot BMC messed Pininfarina's designs up. |

<Sob. Sigh. Sob, re-sob.> Do you really want to hurt me, Chris? Do you really want to make me cry? (The truth is that I had never heard of a Vanden Plas Princess 3-Litre.) |

Yes they do! (Chris and Sandie) ... and so do I (but softly). It's either a Princess 3-Litre 1960, or a Vanden Plas Princess 3-Litre 1961+ -- Last edit: 2013-10-12 15:37:00 |

In my mind, I've always found the BMC versions much more classy than the Peugeot especially, upper level ranges: A110, MG, Riley, Princess, Vanden Plas and Wolseley. |

Ouais ben alors là, j'm'esscuse, hein, but I totally agree with Chris. They are overloaded with garments, when the 404 remains in a styly simplicity, French/Italian touch of class and modernity. |

Do you want to say I have some "kitschy" bad taste? .... Y'a un peu du vrai, et une fois n'est pas coutume, j'aime le coté un peu baroque de certaines versions anglaises, qui "respirent" l'esprit salon anglais dans leur finition et le luxe de plus de puissance, même si ce n'est qu'apparent (à ce titre ma préférée serait l' A110 Westminster d'Austin). Ca dépasse évidemment toute objectivité! mais s'il faut choisir dans le bon design de la French/Italian touch, alors je choisis l'original = Fiat 1800 .... Indécrotable!!! -- Last edit: 2013-10-12 16:03:21 |

Bon… Alorsse, oui, j'admets qu'on peut être touché par la charge en chrome de ces Anglaises. Qu'on peut même vouloir se tourner vers l'originel — si je me souviens bien à quoi ressemble la Fiat 1800, qui me paraît trop chromée — mais surtout, je dois admettre mon biais : j'ai possédé, oui, possédé une 404. Et je ne m'en suis jamais remis. (La coquette faisait sourire les douaniers quand je franchissais les frontières.) |

Any support for the idea this has the smaller wheels so 63+ Mk2? |
