This Vanden Plas limousine was built in London 57 years ago for the British Royal Family before Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to Jamaica. Her Royal Majesty only used the car during her visits to the island, but the Princess Limousine has remained in possession of the government until now.
There are no price estimates available at the moment. The vehicle has four doors and six seats if you count the two folding seats in the middle row. It is unknown how many times Elizabeth II used the limo, but we are told that Clifford Campbell, the local governor, took care of the car between her visits.
A British exotic car restoration expert brought the limo back to peak driving condition after its use, repainting the exterior in the same exact tones, refreshing the wood, leather and chrome parts as necessary, and upgrading the wiring on board from 6 to 12 volts.
All parts with numbers are OEM: this includes the body and a six-cylinder Austin engine mated to a four-speed manual transmission, which has a dedicated slow gear called Parade. Useful features on board include power steering, a removable top, and individual AC units for the front and the back row.
