'Princess' inscription on the bumper, 'P' on the hub-caps, no crown logo on the grille, no 'Flying A' : this hearse is based on a Princess IV (1957-60). The numberplate is a film-makers version or should just read [AAA100]. |

Those are bearer seats and actually almost a trade mark of Woodall-Nicholson. That's why their hearses make such fine family cars. |

...I don't like the idea of VP's & Princess' in banger racing .! (..use up some of the daimler's ...but not those oldies.!) -- Last edit: 2006-09-11 17:18:07 |

Sorry, there were several British hearse builders that built bearer-hearses. And this Princess was transformed by Startins. ![]() |

I strongly support that!!! Well, and even the Daimlers (+ many more unique hearses) have become quite rare, because more than enough of them already have been raced. I never understood how people call themselves hearse experts on the one hand, but shore up the extermination of these custom coachbuilt rarities on the other hand. ![]() |
