	Leyland Princess - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Consequently, the Princess received fixed rear glass and a separate boot (trunk), belying its appearance, which was to prove a sales-loser the Princess's entire life.

		This was badged as the 'Austin Princess' in New Zealand.

		Austin Princess was a name given to luxury cars made by the Austin (State capital of Texas on the Colorado River; site of the University of Texas) company during the 1940s (The decade from 1940 to 1949), 1950s (The decade from 1950 to 1959) and 1960s (The decade from 1960 to 1969).
		Not a popular model with the general public, most Princesses (and Sheerlines, for that matter) were bought for civic ceremonial duties or by hire companies as limousines for hire.
		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 (additional info and facts about straight-6) engine.

	history
		All new Princesses had the smooth frontal styling of the previous Austin, which was available with twin round headlamps on four cylinder cars and the trapezoidal lamps on 6 cylinder cars.
		By the launch of the Princess 2 range, the drive-shaft problem on manual six cylinder cars was rectified by re-positioning the power unit.
		The Ambassador was a different car to the Princess which had preceded it; the front and grille was changed; there was a new bonnet; a new rear end style and there was also an extra rear quarter-light window.

		Leyland permitted Whistler to make that minor alteration and also to adorn the wainscoting and cornice with a "wave pattern" derived from the design on the leaded glass of the pantry door.
		He urged Leyland not to return to London since he did not want his work to be seen before every detail was perfect.
		Despite the furor surrounding its creation, Leyland kept his dining room as Whistler had left it and continued filling the shelves with porcelain until his death in 1892.

	American Art \| Harmony in Blue and Gold: The Peacock Room \| F1904.61
		Concerned that the red roses adorning the leather wall hangings clashed with the colors in The Princess, Whistler suggested retouching the leather with yellow paint, and Leyland agreed to that minor alteration.
		He covered the ceiling with squares of dutch metal (imitation gold leaf) and a lush pattern of peacock feathers, gilded the spindle shelving, and painted an array of magnificent peacocks on the inside panels of the shutters.
		The angry bird on the right was given silver throat feathers in reference to the white ruffled shirts that Leyland always wore; the other, docile peacock was crowned with a silver crest feather reminiscent of the single white lock that rose artfully above Whistler's forehead.

		The Princess' ride was excellent, and comfort in general was a selling point; the car was roomy, reasonably well-appointed for the time, the seating was comfortable, and overall the driving experience - provided you didn't care that much about performance - was excellent.
		None of the Princess' major flaws, the lack of a hatchback and the lack of performance, were addressed.
		Throughout most of the Eighties and Nineties a Princess was so undesirable as to be almost worthless, with the result that there are precious few left in good condition.

		People did not buy the Princess in large numbers; the sales never lived up to the expectations that British Leyland management had for it, but unlike the ADO17, which BMC left pretty much untouched for the duration of the production run, the Princess was the subject of a programme of continuous development.
		Because the reputation of the Princess was just about on the floor by 1980, it was also decided that the facelift would be far-reaching enough to warrant a change of identity — and in the case of the ADO71, a change of gender — from Princess to Ambassador in one fell swoop.
		The Princess also had a traditional looking, but well-planned dashboard, which was discarded in favour of a low-cost Allegro-esque item in the Ambassador, which not only managed to look and feel cheaper, but also conveyed less information to the driver — even the top of the range VDP version lacked a rev-counter.

		PRINCESS Diana came to this area twice: to Burnley with Prince Charles when Rosegrove Station was opened in 1986 and on her own in 1989 when she met supporters of the Ithaad welfare group for the elderly in Nelson.
		WHILE recovering from the shock and total disbelief of this tragic and untimely death of Princess Diana in that horrific car crash, I find the fact that neither she nor Dodi Fayed were wearing their seat belts in the rear of the vehicle very sad indeed, as it could have helped save their lives.
		HELEN Barkby was just 10 years old when she presented a posy to Diana Princess of Wales at the opening of a new extension at St Catherine's Hospice near Preston.

		Because British Leyland was now controlled by the government and funded by tax-payers, special attention was paid by all the negative side of the company.
		Because the Princess failed so spectacularly and so publicly, it was all the easier for Maple to get down to work and make his presence felt; to act as an effective quality overlord.
		In July 1978, the Princess 2 finally appeared, sporting the new O-series engine, which was available in 1.7- and 2-litre forms to run alongside the existing 2227cc E6 power unit (the six cylinder would be phased out before the Ambassador was launched).

		Harris Mann left British Leyland in 1983 after 15 years, with, one senses, a sense of frustration that whatever he tried to do was bedevilled by other factors out of his control.
