    Anyone know what this is?

    It's an Austin hood ornament and badge anyway.

    Looks awful similar to a Princess anyway.

    This has appeared in this thread a few times, but I can't get enough of it. I love that someone is keeping it on the road! Camden street on Saturday

    Grill and lights are very different. It has the grill of the Austin Princess 2 but the lights are more like the 4

    If you open your attachment and put it's address in image tags [IMG][/IMG] you can embed it. Don't insert massive images though!

    Everything is worth something. Mostly though we're all car nerds here and want to know exactly what Austin it is. Because it looks like a cross-bred Princess!

    The one in this link is the nearest to your car that I can find.
    It is a 1952 Austin Princess 2.
    The only difference I see is the recessed spotlights.
    It was a barn find and sold at auction last October for £2860.

    The Barons site has a useful zoom tool which will help in identification.
    Quite a find good luck with it.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    On a flying visit to Rome, this was a nice surprise

    49473868333_6a349fd443_z.jpg

    And of course, an obligatory 500

    49474575042_7cb6c13a5f_z.jpg

    I saw your man parking this. There was something else in the Yaris' place, but he hadn't much more space than is shown in the photo.
