Vehicle History
Remarks
Massive history folder (actually a box file full). This car was a Met Police car on 'close protection'used (letter to prove). It is rumoured that this car was the Royal Protection Vehicle assigned to Diana, Princess of Wales. Research is still ongoing however understandably, such sensitive information is not readily available.
Restoration Notes
Minor 'refresh' to paintwork. All panels are very good with some paint to stone chips on bonnet and front spoiler. Visible inspection will confirm that there has been no damage to any areas of the car.
