I saw a Princess on the road a few months ago, much to my amazement. The thing was a POS as well, not even cared for, heaven knows how it had survived this long.

My father had one when they first came out and it was truly awful, even by the appalling BL standards of the day. One day someone came up to my father and asked if he would sell it as he was looking for one for his brother who was serving in Germany. Yoiu have never seen a hand bitten off so quick

It must have been better than the car it replaced though, the Austin 1800.
It was so ugly it made children cry
