However, the Princess is now on display at the World of Top Gear exhibition at the Beaulieu Motor Museum in Hampshire. It has to be said that this Princess was in need of some cosmetic repair before Top Gear took ownership, and it’s fair to say it wasn’t a pristine example despite its low 20k miles. There are blemishes all over the bodywork and in some places the paint had worn down to the primer. Micro blistering on the bonnet is also apparent. It just goes to show the camera can lie! It has dried out inside, but mould is growing on the carpet, and quite a lot of modification was required to enable filming. Still, at least this Wedge is now in a museum, which makes it the only one apart from the Wolseley Wedge at the Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon. This page added 2^nd August 2009.
