the limousine version was devised in late 1975 and produced on a small scale by woodall nicholson. based on the top of the range princess 2200 hls, stretched at the b-pillar to allow more room for the rear compartment, the front door remained unchanged, making the car look oddly proportioned from the side. the leyland princess 2200 hls limousine was produced between 1975 and 1979, and was mostly sold to local borough councils (as a mayoral car) and to the funeral sector. princess limousine seemed to be an alternative to a daimler ds420 that local government used in the mid 70s as daimlers were much more expensive.
