From then on 'Princess' was a kind of second brand name, as all 'Vanden Plas' branded cars used it. In autumn 1961 the Mk.II version followed, which can be identified by the position of the rear bumper overriders ... but not in this picture. Therefore I would suggest we use the earliest name, as we usually do: Princess 3 Litre [ADO37] (1959). Nice to see the period badge-bar!
