FactYou can date a Prince Henry to its final year: only 1914 cars have bonnet flutes that fade out just behind the radiator.
In 1913 the Prince Henry's engine capacity was increased to 3969 cc (95 mm bore, 140 mm stroke, the old bore-stroke ratio having penalised the car under many hill-climbing formulae) and the internal designation changed to C, on a longer wheelbase of 120 in and a length of about 162 in, rated 75 bhp at a maximum of 2,500 rpm (tax 23.82, "24 hp"). Cars produced in 1914 have flutes in the bonnet that fade out a short way behind the radiator, and production continued until 1915 (the infobox says 1914). The 4-litre engine was the ancestor of the 30-98's (30-98s used the Prince Henry chassis with a flatter radiator). Kent Karslake called it "the first of the vintage and the last of the veteran cars".

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Named for a German prince's own road rally, this Vauxhall then went racing across Russia — and ended up in the hands of Tsar Nicholas II, who bought two after they competed there.
Rivals

In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
