In 1952 a long wheelbase version of the Princess with a longer body and seven seats was introduced, the biggest change in the early Princess range, whose bodywork and running gear otherwise hardly changed. In the same year Austin became part of the British Motor Corporation, so BMC became the owner of the model line. Many of the saloons were later converted into taxis with Perkins diesel engines. The Princess was then in its sixth year.
