A classic car once owned by former Prime Minister Harold Wilson is on the market for £25,000. The 1967 Vanden Plas Princess R, which boasts luxurious leather seats and a foldaway picnic table, was used by Mr Wilson in the early 1970s. It is now being sold by James Szkiler at his dealership in Malton, North Yorkshire. He hopes to attract classic car enthusiasts looking to add to their private collections. The British-made motor was bought by the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works in October 1967. It was then used by Mr Wilson and kept by the Government until 1978. It is thought the car might also have been used by Prime Ministers Edward Heath and James Callaghan.
