As before these impressive cars were built by Vanden Plas on separate Austin chassis, powered by the old D-Series 3993cc six cylinder engine. These large, almost truck-like engines developed 120bhp, however due to the cars enormous bulk and weight the cars top speed was around 75mph. 1964 saw the introduction of the 3909cc Rolls-Royce powered Vanden Plas Princess 4 Litre 'R'. When introduced this cost £1994 some £300 more than the 3 Litre which it replaced. Vanden Plas produced prototypes of both the Austin 1800 and the Austin 3 Litre but neither were marketed. 1968 saw the replacement for the Princess 4 Litre Limousine Date when launched 1952 Discontinued in 1968
