1965 VANDEN PLAS PRINCESS 1300

Registration No:WRS866L
Chassis No:VAS2-35878M
MOT:April 2018

- Registering less than 16,000 miles from new, recent brake overhaul

- Teal Blue with Beige leather interior, automatic transmission

- Unrepeatable time-warp example with current MoT to April 2018


Acquired by BMC in 1946 the firm of Vanden Plas, which could trace its roots back as far as 1870, had earned an enviable reputation as a coachbuilder chiefly known for its work on Bentley, Lagonda and Rolls-Royce chassis prior the Second World War. By the late 1950s the company was engaged in adding luxury fittings to a range of Austin-Morris models produced by BMC. In 1963, the ADO16 range of saloons began to be upgraded culminating in the lavishly equipped Vanden Plas 1300 Princess as offered here. Leather upholstery, wood veneer, a distinctive radiator grille and special badging distinguished these VDP examples, whilst the 1.3-litre twin carburettor engine shared with the MG models developed some 65bhp, resulting in a 90mph top speed.


This time-warp automatic transmission example registers less than 16,000 miles (just 15,658 at the time of cataloguing) from new, having mostly been in storage since 1981. Originally sold new in Scotland, the car recently benefited from a brake overhaul and the fitment of new tyres. Finished attractively in Teal Blue with Beige interior, WRS 866L appears ready to show and comes with an old-style Swansea V5 document, 1981 MoT certificate at 14,197 miles and a current MoT with no advisories. Arguably the most desirable model variation of its type, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire such an original and well-preserved example.

1965 MERCEDES BENZ 220SE COUPE
Registration Number: DEY 845C
Chassis Number: 11102112200007


The Mercedes-Benz W111 series was produced from 1959 to 1968 and was one of Mercedes top-range vehicles. They were elegant and well built vehicles aimed at wealthy or successful individuals who appreciate a finer finish to their motorcars. In 1957 the design began for the two-door Pontons. Most of the chassis and drive train were to be unified with the saloon and therefore the emphasis was on exterior styling. Some of the prototypes show that Mercedes-Benz attempted to give the two-door car a front styling similar to the Pagoda Roadster, whilst the rear bodywork was officially still called a 'fintail' although the rear end design had no chrome fin highlights. Production began in late 1960 and the Coupé was premiered in Stuttgart for the 75th anniversary of the opening of Mercedes-Benz Museum. The 220 SE Coupé variant was met with instant success and Mercedes-Benz went on to produce 14,173 examples.


This highly collectable example presents a combination that is most striking; Mercedes-Benz black with a contrasting blood red leather interior. The condition of both can safely be described as extremely good throughout. This is because this example underwent a full restoration in 2016 whilst with its previous Dutch owner. The restoration included a complete strip down (interior out) to bare metal and a full repaint. All the seating was re-upholstered and then re-constructed in the correct Mercedes-Benz fashion. The wooden dash and door cappings were all beautifully fitted and are now as new. In 2017 this Pillarless Coupé was given to renowned Mercedes-Benz specialists, SS Motors of Weybridge to ensure that the engine is set up beautifully. This W111 carries one of the most elegant profiles of all postwar Mercedes-Benz and is offered with a UK registration document. This car is reported to drive very well and has the overall appearance of a car that has had much care and attention lavished upon it.
