As a very special one-off, this Ogle-designed Princess showed off the latest glass technology and attracted lots of attention when it first appeared at the 1978 British Motor Show. 

Mechanically this car is a standard Princess 2200, but the bodywork was extensively re-styled by Ogle Design. This enabled Triplex, a British company that produced toughened and laminated glass, to demonstrate futuristic possibilities.

The car’s windscreen is made from Triplex 10-20 laminated glass which gives the car its name. It has a Triplex Hi-Viz coating, incorporating built‑in demisting, de-icing and an aerial - all cutting-edge technology for 1978. The wing mirrors are made with similar de-icing glass. 

The one-piece rear glass hatch is remarkable for the sharp curvature achieved and the glass sunroof is made from very thin, flexible glass. At only 2.3mm thick, it enables the sunroof to be opened by simply bending the glass. The glass is coated with Triplex Sundym, keeping the occupants cool in sunny weather. Ogle’s unique front and rear end styling included an integral bumper together with a clever and attractive rear light display.
