Over the course of its production, the Princess represented the top of Austin's model lineup, with variants also sold under Austin's Vanden Plas brand as well as the standalone 'Princess' brand. These luxury cars were offered in saloon and limousine body styles, and were powered by a 4.0L inline six engine that sent drive to the rear wheels via manual or automatic transmission options.
