Austin Ambassador
In 1982 the Princess 18/22 went in for a major makeover, emerging as the 5-door Austin Ambassador restyled by Harris Mann. The E-series 2200cc engine was dropped, and because the O-series 1700cc and 1984cc engines were shorter the bonnet could be lowered. In 1984 the Austin Montego replaced the Austin Ambassador.
