Princess (wedge) available?
I'm considering, if it's possible to find one, getting a Austin (or
Leyland, I think to be more accurate) Princess for my wife. A 2000HL or 2000HLS Princess 2, which I think means circa 1978-1981. I've seen that there are one or two still about in good shape but they must be pretty rare now. Anybody seen one? I had one (HCA 100T) when I was a student in 1992, and loved it. Mind you, that was a long time ago now. regards Michael

I doubt she'd appreciate something that butt ugly. -- Conor I only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow isn't looking good either. - Scott Adams

Why assume I'd buy her a car she'd never seen at all? Michael

Hmm, only in a sort of "my god glaciers move faster than this" sort of way. Rear wheel drive with all the fun taken out. I'd like to own that one, but it would be a sin to use it much and I'd have to do something about the swallows that have decided to move into my barn/garage. I had one for several years and loved it at the time. Sadly the engine is fairly fragile.
