I can also recall from the Eagle comic a feature they did called 'cutaways'. They were the bees knees at showing how things worked. :lol:

In the same vain here is a Meadows Frisky as shown on a previous thread.

Seen one for sale on Mississippi or something.

yes i find that little fiat funny......would it have enough power or grip to push the white stuff? :hgf:



and if your not out there playing in the snow you could convert your car into a item of furniture for inside the house.













i dont think this next car meant to be a item of furniture.......but it is now!


and if you want to spend time in the garden get yourself a mini barbeque

Plus there were a few estate versions too that were made:

Ooh.. there were even thoughts of a Princess convertible!



It would have looked really smart too!

Thats a smart looking topless princess...i dont think anyone would pull there faces at it......cant say ive seen a austin princess for a very long time.


The princess was designed by harris mann ....he is also the guy behind the first escort and capri.....
heres a photo of harris mann


harris must have liked wedged shaped cars,he also designed the tr7





harris also designed the allegro..but not has we know it...he designed the allegro with more of a wedge...but the shape was corrupted and was formed in the shape we know it today...below are manns original concept pictures of the allegro,princess and one of the metro....which he also created











and here is mann with a wolesley wedge in 2013 at the nec.....mann was disapointed with the finished result of the allegro not being as to is true design....he never got what he wanted with the princess as well,because mann had designed it to be a 5 door......the princess design project was named the diablo project and then mann went on to design the maestro
after these mann went freelance and designed the z series cars for mg rover which we on this forum are very familiar with.











harris mann must have ate a lot of cheese ,he had wedges on the brain....and some of the earlier cars developed holes in them just like this wedge of cheese



heres harris talking about signed pictures of his tr7 creation





here is a couple of princess cars that have been messed around with :nonod:




3 faces....wolesley,austin,morris



:pop: is there any more pictures of the princess soft top? :woowoo:

This car is horrible......made by renault its the renault 3/renault 4
