Princess Vanden Plas with a Rolls-Royce grille... |

Seems from our collection that this was a common event for VdPs in I, but this is RHD so presumably originally ex-UK. |

Did Austin/VdP make any LHD ones? |

I found 2 LHD VdPs on a quick recce - /vehicle_802374-Vanden-Plas-Princess-4-Litre-Limousine-1961.html , /vehicle_294558-Vanden-Plas-Princess-4-litre-Limousine-1961.html so they exist. But that's a low proportion of our overseas sightings. |

It's amazing that they bothered, tooling costs being what they were and are. IIRC the clocks were centrally located and I suppose a steering box could be a bought out finished item, but there's still the jigs for chassis fixing, and the pedal box to consider, plus the gearchange linkage. |
