Hi Guys. Here is an interesting case.
A friend of mine has acquired this 'Austin Princess Special Six Automatic'.
It's a 'garage find' in apparently very good condition. Straight body no noticable rust including underneath. It has the 2.2 litre transverse six engine.
It hasn't been started for many years and the engine won't turn over. Tyres hold air and brakes are free.
Owner has the original paperwork and keys plus some service history.
The "Special Six Automatic" was a limited edition top spec model Princess with the 'HLS' spec. Sunroof and vinyl roof.
Only 1200 were made. Given that there are only about 60 Ambassadors 'total' left on the road these "Special Six" must be extreemly rare.
Question is...Is anybody interested as a restoration project ?
He's open to offers and the car is in Bristol.
For further info or to view please give us a ring.

Hi guys ! 🙋‍♂️
Ho.Ho.Ho and all that ! 🎅
So if anybody is bored and full of Pigs in blankets and sober enough to drive I think a few of us will be heading down to the 'Blue Bowl' on Saturday (27th)
The Pub is open from 12.00 to 2.00 so I guess we will aim for about those hours or even slightly before.
Just remains for me to say a huge Happy Christmas to all of you who come along every month and make this such a friendly meet.
Have a great time and Best wishes for the New Year ! 👍

Well done those who made it to the Bowl today.
Weather forecast said rain but we were lucky ! 👏
December meet is due 27th.
Some people will be busy with family things....But some will be so full of Turkey, Christmas pudding and gassy canned beer by then they are looking for a few hours out !....
Especially if the weather is favourable. So on that note if you feel like popping down I'm sure some of us will be there.
I would like to thank everybody who comes along and makes our meet work so well.
Such a lovely group of people.
Also many thanks to Jess and the team at the Blue Bowl for giving us such a great place to meet.
If we don't see you before......Have a great Christmas and New Year and we'll see you all January ! 👍

Peter.
Paul.
