1955 AUSTIN A135 PRINCESS LIMOUSINE

3995cc, manual. Surely one of the most majestic vehicles in our sale, this seven-seater Austin A135 Princess Limousine has been a first-place winner at two Vanden Plas club concours competitions. The car was first registered in September 1955, and the indicated mileage today is 49,597. 

The Austin's history file contains various old receipts and letters relating to the car (including its second-hand purchase in the 1970s), hand-written maintenance records, plus a notebook containing a log of works done between 1987 and 1992. It also comes with a spare set of keys, an original hardback owner's manual, an excellent collection of old tax discs and MoT certificates from between 1980 and 2012. The current V5C is present, showing only one previous owner.
