Black Prince memories checked after 66 years

Sixty-six years have separated Brian Sewell's first encounter with the Invicta Black Prince Charlesworth saloon and his most recent. In the intervening decades since that first experience, as a schoolboy in 1947, Sewell's fascination with this near-mythical prototype has continued to grow.

He became an obsessive collector of literature relating to the car, and naturally he leapt at the chance to reacquaint himself with this most curious of British blind-alleys when The Automobile magazine offered him a chance to see the car again. Sadly, time has not been kind to Invicta's last, flawed, attempt at greatness, and the outspoken Sewell pulls no punches in his critique of the car. Read more about the reunion in the November issue, out now.
