Current on C&C is an ex; Norman Grimshaw ..Austin Westminster A110 BMC re- creation service barge .. looks a nice car if you got £15k to splash.

Thats very interesting. Surely the barges had most of the interiors ripped out to facilitate carrying basically a mobile workshop? My personal sideline interest is in the Princess 4ltrs.
I presume they were all built in Cowley, but why would you send a barge down to Kingsbury for paint and trim? Surely all you would do is fling in a Westie front row seat set and be done?
