In the early 1960s. BMC spent some time talking to Rolls-Royce. in general terms. about merging some of their mutual interests. The only concrete result was that Rolls-Royce developed a special version of their six-cylinder 3. 09cc engine for BMC to power their much revised Princess saloon. The new car was the 4-Litre Princess R. and rumours persisted that the R was meant to stand for Royal.


Automatic transmission was standard. the suspension benefitted from a massive new front cross-member. and there was even more attention to sound-deadening. The body shell was changed in many ways; there was a new roof panel offering more headroom. no peaks over the front and rear windows. a more upright rear window and the rear end was smoothed out by eliminating the fins and providing horizontal tail-lamp clusters. Perhaps the most important change however was to the price - which was £1. 94. compared with £1. 74 for the 3-Litre in the UK market. By 1967. production was down to 200 cars a year resulting in the Princess R being quietly withdrawn from production at the beginning of 1968 after just 6. 55 cars were built.


Offered here today is an exceptional Princess 4-Litre R that has benefitted from a thorough restoration. The result is outstanding.
New parts were hard to find. this meant that much of the metal work had to be painstakingly created by hand to achieve a perfect fit.


New brake lines were fitted along with new shoes and cylinders and a new exhaust system fitted. The shock absorbers were replaced along with new bushes. New tyres were fitted to the freshly painted wheels to complete the finish.
The engine bay was stripped of its ancillaries and each item was inspected and refurbished as required.
The car was then lightly run in for months to iron out any issues.

Hi
I can see from the photos that the doors are slightly out of alignment. Is this due to damage or you need to adjust the doors or seals?
Also what is your best price ?
Thanks
