The first Princess, the A120, was launched in 1947 as the most expensive flagship of the Austin range, and was later renamed A135. It was updated through Mark I, II and III versions, the biggest change being a long wheelbase seven seat body in 1952, while the bodywork and the D series six cylinder engine hardly changed. The engine began as 3.5 liters and was enlarged to 4.0 liters. Its model years run from 1947 to 1956.
