Kate Middleton will be driven to her Royal wedding in the same car that was attacked in student riots last year.
The Rolls-Royce was damaged in the protests as it took the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall to a theatre.
The car was splattered with white paint and the rear window was cracked.
It is currently being repaired in time for the Royal Wedding.
Kate Middleton and Prince William will ride in the carriage, also used by Prince William’s parents after their wedding in 1981.

The Rolls-Royce was a present to the Queen to mark her Silver Jubilee in 1977.
Crown Equerry Col Toby Browne said: “One of the problems [is] it’s such a special car there are details that have to be reproduced and are not available off the shelf,” he said.
“The claret paint is specific to [all royal] cars and certain bits of glass had to be made, but it’s really a minor detail you won’t notice.”
After the ceremony, William and Kate Middleton will parade past crowds in an open-topped horse-drawn carriage. But if it’s raining, they will use a Glass Coach which was built in 1881 and was used by Princess Diana as her bridal carriage.
