Austin A135 Princess was something slightly different, usually referred to as the Sheerline and smaller, made at Longbridge. The 4-Litre Limousine was a VdP-built LWB adaptation with the sequence of Austin/Princess/VdP branding, but apart from first year never had A135 title, which we only use on Sheerlines.

This one is a Princess or a VdP with shiny trim on pillar behind rear doors, instead of the body colour painted pillars used on the first series as Austins.

The Sheerline was not the same car as the Princess. It used a pressed steel body, not coachbuilt.
