The Princess IV was discontinued in 1959, after only 199 had been built, and it was replaced in the catalogue by a much smaller model, the Princess 3 litre. Its direct predecessors the Sheerline and the A135 had been replaced by it in 1956. In October 1959 the Princess name was also used on a deluxe version of the large BMC executive car, the Austin Westminster, the Vanden Plas Princess and Wolseley 6/99.
