Carl, the car you mentioned is a Austin Princess VandenPlas, with a small
Rolls-Royce engine, specially made for this car. Even the body has been
used as a pre-production Shadow. See Ian Rimmers'book on the experimental
cars.
If you do want more information, please let me know, I have a handbook of
the Princess.
