Video Description

Part 2: https://youtu.be/U6R9HT6TGEw A truly special two-part test drive battle, as I pit the oldest surviving Princess 'Wedge' against its replacement, the very last Austin Ambassador. This video focuses on the Princess, actually a Wolseley 2200 with the transverse six-cylinder engine, automatic transmission and oodles of plush velour. Developed by British Leyland, the 'wedge' Princess was in production from 1975 until 1982. It uses Hydragas suspension, has styling by Harris Mann and deserves more respect than it gets. A true HubNut luxury vehicle! Styling is by Harris Mann, who also penned the Austin Allegro, Triumph TR7 and Morris Ital. HubNut store can be found via: https://hubnut.org Leyland Princess Enthusiasts' Club is at: http://www.leylandprincess.co.uk/leylandprincess_index.htm Also, many thanks to AR Online for much of the history. www.aronline.co.uk Part 2, the Austin Ambassador DELAYED by missing files. Sorry. #BritishLeyland #Wedge #Oldcarsarethebest
