We need parts on a Austin Princess R. If someone can help it will be much appreciated. I can provide a list of parts if you can help

Hi Gordini. Unfortunately those arent very easy to come by. My dad had (has) a Princess R (with the 4 litre Rolls Royce motor) in the 90's. Genuine 42000 miles. The tappets were a bit rowdy - so he had it sent to a friend of his to adjust. The guy lost some bits and pieces and the car still sits there to this day. I've tried placing ads but no response.

This is the same car that we need the parts for. The TIK rokers in the Cape removed all the taillights to get hold of the bulbs. We need the windscreen and other small bits. Will your Dad sell the car to us??

I hope it is the same car. The winscreen is the same as the Wolsely 6/110. The rest of the car is all different

What parts do you need specifically?

BMC cars have huge commonality across the range and accross many years too. If we know what you want we can research the parts.

Windscreen
Rear lights[tail and flickers complete with backing plates]
All window and door rubbers
Centre section in rear bumper
Front wishbone bushes

Thank you for your time and help will be much appreciated

I would take a look at Wolseley 6/110, Austin A 110 Westmister, and the Austin 3 litre as a starting point - the are all basically the same shell from which the Princess R was developed.

I am no expert on these cars, but knowing BMC I am sure you will find common parts with those cars.

I've send about 50 mails to companies in Britain that i found on Google, but no reply as yet. There must be someone in Britain with parts
