dsl ◊ 2020-08-01 05:17	Correction - it's not a normal VdP 4-litre with a tweaked pillar, but a very rare [DS6] 4-light Saloon; only 88 [DS6] were made 1953-67, across the various names and with various body styles - the consistent factor was the lack of a division compared to the main 4-Litre Limo. Best account I can find is here, but still uncertain what best name is. Entered as 1958 Princess A135 LWB Saloon Series III to keep it with our only other identified [DS6]s (one fairly definite with 2 entries, the other a probable), but if this is VdP-era example, it may have had a different name as A135 had fallen out of use by then. And there's this Oct 55 Austin Princess advert with 4 different bodywork sketches

I wonder where it is today. (I hope it's not a junkyard or something bad...)
