AI Listing Summary

This 1981 Austin Morris Princess is a 'wedge' saloon with 72,566 miles, boasting an original interior and recent mechanical improvements. However, it requires attention to rust on the sills and wheel arches, impacting its overall appeal despite a clean engine bay and solid undercarriage.

Condition

The car is described as being in generally good condition, but it has rust on the sills and rear wheel arches, with filler repairs that aren't of a high standard. There's also some bubbling paint on the offside front wing and cracking where the front wings join the valance. The interior is noted as a strong point, being original and well-cared for, but the front passenger foot well area is a little grubby, and there's wear in the driver's footwell. These factors indicate moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning.

Our vendor purchased the car in September 2022 with the intention of building a small collection of British Leyland cars.

However, a change of heart, to concentrate on his Mitsubishi collection, means that this rather rare Princess is now for sale.

Just before the purchase of the car, the pre...
