	Leyland Princess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Leyland Princess, sometimes called the Austin Princess, was a larger-sized (by British standards) car produced by British Leyland in the United Kingdom from 1975 through to 1981.
		A crown badge was affixed to the point of the bonnet and the script word Princess was affixed to the grille, the thick vinyl-clad C pillars and the boot.
		This was badged as the 'Austin Princess' in New Zealand.

	Austin Princess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Austin Princess was a name given to luxury cars made by the Austin company during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
		The name Princess was revived in the 1970s for a car built by British Leyland and initially sold through Austin and other dealerships; this car was never actually badged Austin Princess in the UK (though it was in some export markets) and is better referred to as Leyland Princess.
		The Princess model was updated over the years through Mk I, Mk II and Mk III versions, the variations being fairly minor; the bodywork didn't change much and neither did the 4-litre straight-6 engine.

		Launched in the 1956 the Princess IV was the last in the well regarded big Austin / Vanden Plas Princess range.
		As with the earlier Princess cars the IV came as either a Sports Saloon or Touring Limousine and offered the usual appointments and high build quality, most were purchased and used by hire firms or by local councils for "civic duties".
		The Princess IV now came equipped with power steering, servo assisted brakes and Hydramitic (automatic) transmission as used on Rolls-Royce models of the period.

	Vanden Plas Princess 3 Litre
		Then, without changing the cars in any way, the Austin Princess IV of the period was 'de-badged', and officially became known simply as the Princess.
		Whatever the title, the Vanden Plas-produced 3-Litre was structurally and mechanically identical to the new Austin A99 and Wolseley 6/99 saloons.
		Compared with the Wolseley 6/99, therefore, the Princess 3-Litre had a prominent special grille and an overhanging bonnet panel, and there were special wheel nave plates and paint schemes to add to the air of exclusivity.

		In the intervening years it has produced some famous motor cars, notably the Austin Seven, which introduced a new standard of small car motoring for the family man. Today the company is controlled by one of the most dynamic figures in British industry, Mr L.P. Lord.

	Vanden Plas: the executive class
		In 1959, the success of the previous year's Austin A105 Vanden Plas convinced BMC to produce a similar version based on its new Farina saloon, and in the process, the Vanden Plas name became a marque in its own right.
		This Princess 3 litre Countryman, finished in the bespoke royal shade of bottle green, was produced in 1963 in response to a commission from HM Queen Elizabeth.
		The car is something of a curate's egg: while the front appears to have benefitted from the restyling, the decision to install a wraparound rear screen in place of the Austin's six-light arrangement has served to upset the balance of what many observers consider to be the original car's most attractive viewing angle.

		The first of the Austin Princess Limousines was exhibited at Earls Court in 1952 and the first two production models were purchased by her Majesty the Queen.

	62 Austin Vanden Plas Princess (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Austin Princess line began life in 1947, when the then independent British subsidiary of Vanden Plas, a Belgian coach maker, joined Austin as a subsidiary and teamed their saloon coach to an Austin rolling chassis.
		More Princesses were shipped overseas than stayed at home and it was the most quantitatively imported commercial limousine to the United States; Rolls Royces were generally the purvue wealthy private citizens.
		The Princess is both simple and strong (Austin also makes trucks) and always outperforms the Rolls in durability and dollar operational cost in commercial environments.

	Film & TV: Princess Mononoke (Austin Chronicle . 11-29-99)
		Desperately, he leaves his village and family behind and journeys across the land to meet with the Spirit of the Forest and thereby break the curse that has been put not only on him but also the very land itself.
		What's amazing about the film, though, is its vast palette; Princess Mononoke is filled to bursting with epic battles, gorgeous, jaw-dropping animation that will have the hairs on the nape of your neck rising, and a solidly pro-earth message that's rarely as heavy-handed as you might think (FernGully this isn't).
		Princess Mononoke'sonly fault may lie in its epic-for-animation length; at two hours and 20 minutes, it's far too long for most younger children and a bit of a stretch even for some adults.

		Even at the lower speeds the smoothness is something the hotted up Austin truck engine could never aspire to.(The Healey 3000 engine was originally used in the Austin tipper/dump truck!) To give and idea of the smoothness, we slowed the car right down, in top, to see when snatching began.

		The two lead characters serve as proof: Xena, the warrior, and her trusty sidekick, the buoyant, idealistic Gabrielle.
