Here's another very, very distinctive and unusual British car:
John Crosse's Nissan-Powered 1961 Vanden Plas (Austin) Princess (http://www.britishv8.org/Other/JohnCrosse.htm) (61 photos)
This car lives just twenty minutes from my house (in nearby Boulder Colorado). I'll be writing more about it soon, but I thought you might enjoy seeing some very fresh photos in the meantime.

Nissan 280ZX engine! complete with Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection
(this system is much simpler than it looks... reliable and easy to maintain)

This car is soooo comfortable!
