AROnline takes a special ADO16 for test. After a quick spin, Keith Adams feels the need to espouse the virtues of the Vanden Plas Princess.
The Vanden Plas Princess 1100 was launched in 1963 as a luxury variant of the BMC ADO16. Production of the Princess 1100 and subsequent 1275 and 1300 models ended in 1974 with 43,741 examples produced. www.classic-trader.com/pn231119
Tony Cole has probably done more than any one man to keep BMC’s rust-stricken ADO16 series of cars on the road – including his own 49-year-old, much-travelled Wolseley 1100. Once Britain’s best-selling car, with 2.1m units sold between 1962 and 1974, the various badge-engineered iterations of Sir Alec Issigonis’ masterpiece were often scrapped when just a […]

The mid-step lady gets in the way of the ADO16's plate, looks like it was one of the posher models? At least we can work something out for the Fiat 131. Apparently CSX 533S was a 1978 1300, last taxed in 1987. I remember several of them and other Fiats of the era in that green colour.
