The idea behind the Vandan Plas 1300 was to present a small, yet comfortable and luxurious car that would be idea for a downsize from a Jaguar or Rover. Inside, the car featured a plethora of features including leather seats, wood veneers, and front and rear picnic tables. Produced between 1963 and 1974, the car was marketed under multiple BMC brands including that of Austin, Riley, MG and Wolesley. The automatic transmission on the car was also impressive for a small car, featuring four speeds which was more than that of most larger cars at the time which only had three. The Princess was produced with the 1100cc engine from 1963 to 1974, with the 1300cc engine joining in 1968. This 1972 model is a 1300cc car that is presented in Harvest Gold with a Vanden Plas Olive green interior. The car has a low mileage of 52,768 miles, and has recently been restored. There is some history that accompanies the car, and engine is running and driving nicely. A lovely tidy example.
