The Club:
The Princess and
Ambassador Owners Club, which is based in the United Kingdom, was
started in May 1997 by four enthusiasts, and aims to help owners of
Princess and Ambassador cars to maintain, repair, and restore their
cars. During it's first 13 years, the club has gone
from strength to strength and currently has more than a hundred members
worldwide. We are a friendly small club run entirely by members for the
benefit of members, and have no paid staff. Below are brief
details of the clubs
services to members.
Spares:
With the increasing
passage of time since the last Ambassador was produced in 1984, thoughts
are increasingly turning towards spare parts in order to keep the cars
on the road. Some new parts are still available, but these are
becoming less as time passes. In order to address this - wherever
possible, the club purchases spares before they become obsolete, for
resale to members as and when required, thus enabling them to keep the
cars on the road for many more years. The Club has also purchase a
number of service items in largish quantities, which are available to
members at reasonable cost. In addition, we are in contact with
several specialist parts suppliers who are often able to find the most
elusive parts.
Website:
There are many other
benefits from becoming a member of the Princess and Ambassador Owners
Club. One of these is the club website. The For Sale page is a highly
useful location where members can place adverts for cars or parts they
have for sale or wish to find, or spare parts they require. The
Links page points visitors towards several websites, mainly to other
similar owners clubs, and other useful and interesting websites.
Newsletter:
A key feature of any
car owners club is regular contact with members by means of a
newsletter. All Princess and Ambassador Owners Club members
receive a quarterly newsletter which is full of information, and is
written, printed, and distributed by club members. As well as the
huge array of both technical and general information in each edition,
there is also space for cars and parts for sale (or wanted), together
with details of the clubs forthcoming events and shows.
Rallies:
Throughout the summer
months and into the early autumn the club arranges several meetings at
interesting locations throughout Britain. These gatherings are
excellent for members, as they are able to share thoughts on the cars,
discuss ideas, and look for assistance with any problems which
nevertheless occur with older vehicles. Meetings are usually
arranged at the Cotswold Wildlife Park; Burford, Stanford Hall;
Leicestershire, and the Museum of British Road Transport;
Coventry. In addition to these meetings, the club arranges space
at several classic car shows during the summer months - details of which
are published in plenty of time on the club website and in the
newsletter. If you are the owner of an 18-22, Princess, or
Ambassador in ANY condition and would like to meet with other fellow
enthusiasts, then our meetings are the place to be. You will be
made most welcome - there will be great interest shown in your car, and
you will have an excellent time.
