Austin Princess in Maroon & White (1:43 scale)
- The first two cars off the production line were delivered to Buckingham Palace shortly after the launch at the Earls Court Motor Show in October 1952. Austin had commissioned the coachbuilders Vanden Plas to design a new 7 to 8 seater limousine & the Austin A135 long wheelbase Princess limousine with elegant 6-light coachwork was the result. The launch price was £2480. Over the years, it was to appear in a host of top class colours – including two-tone, all with superior interior trim, alongside lots of "optional extras" for the ultimate driving & passenger experience.
