Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This Austin Princess, a product of BMC's ADO16 project, features a 1275 cm3 A-series engine and a collection vehicle registration. Recent maintenance includes replaced cardans, a refurbished starter, and a new servo brake. It also boasts a professionally installed Webasto sunroof, blending classic elegance with practical updates.
Condition
6
While the car is described as being used daily and starting without hesitation, indicating good mechanical condition, there are mentions of recent replacements like cardans and a new servo brake. The presence of a Webasto sunroof installed in 2008 and the acknowledgment of wear on the exterior, interior, and/or wheels suggest it is not in pristine or near-perfect condition. Given these factors, a rating of 'Good' seems appropriate, reflecting moderate wear but overall solid condition.

Carte grise de collection
Le projet BMC ADO16 de chez British Leyland vit le jour en 1962 et allait devenir un des succès majeurs des années 60-70 pour le colosse aux pieds d'argile qu'était BMC.
ADO signifie Amalgamated Drawing Office, le 16 est tout simplement le nom de code attribué en interne et est né du cerveau du génial Alec Issigonis.
L'ADO16 est un exemple retentissant de «badge-engineering», autrement dit, comment vendre la même voiture sous différentes marques.
En effet, entre les Wolseley, Riley, Morris, Austin, MG et Innocenti, ce seront pas moins de 8 modèles différents qui seront commercialisés.
Il n'y avait visiblement pas de crainte de cannibalisme en ces temps là! L'ADO 16 partageait le légendaire moteur A-series de la Mini, propulsant lui aussi les roues avant.
La suspension est la fameuse suspension Hydrolastic mise au point par Alex Moulton, qui avouera à la fin des années 90 s'être inspiré de la 2CV.
