I did as much preparation as I could before I sent it off to the paintshop to have both sides painted. I have had to fit the lights as I have to drive it the 3 miles to the paint shop.





Nearside arch.


Offside arch.


Replacement doors were painted off the car.


Slam panel will also get a fresh coat of paint.


Four days later I got the car back.







Spent a dayy taking off the two duff doors and fitting the replacements, then we refitted the glass, door handles, body trim, etc.

words fail me. Brilliant,absolutely brilliant

It is wonderful to see these cars being preserved.
I had a university friend who drove a black one in New Zealand. There, there was a special black or silver edition called the Princess R with the two-litre engine and manual or automatic transmission. This particular one was automatic and I remember it as very refined in its day and possessed of quite good performance.
