Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE 

Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn were German-American illusionists who performed as the legendary Siegfried & Roy, often in Las Vegas, until they retired from show business in 2010. The two were best known for an exceptional level of showmanship using white lions and white tigers often transported on stage in high-end automobiles from Rolls-Royce and Vanden Plas. One of Siegfried & Roy’s non-show cars was this 1965 Vanden Plas Princess 4-litre Limousine, which stands as a symbol of luxury and sophistication. Crafted by the esteemed British coachbuilder Vanden Plas, the car embodies timeless elegance and opulence. With its sleek lines and meticulously crafted interior, featuring sumptuous leather upholstery and fine wood trim, the Princess Limousine exudes an air of refinement befitting its illustrious owners. Powered by a 4.0-liter engine and hand built to meticulously high standards, this classic automobile delivers a smooth and graceful ride. As a cherished piece of automotive history with a prestigious provenance, the Siegfried & Roy Vanden Plas Princess Limousine continues to captivate enthusiasts and collectors alike.
