In 1982, the (
#Leyland) Princess underwent a heavy revamp. The wedgey silhouette was retained but most exterior panels were changed and the car finally got the hatchback it probably should have had from the beginning. There was a name change too, from Princess to Ambassador. BL also decided that the wedge was an Austin after all, so
