    Car of the week

    It is a 1964 Austine Princess VDP. As it is styled to look like a Bentley the comparison is appropriate. 0-60 in 23.5 seconds so not a fast car... You can see more of it here - https://www.7thheaven.com.au/classic-wedding-cars.htm I suspect from the style of the door handles that it might be...
