The Princess Vanden Plas 4 Litre R, also known as the Princess 4 Litre R, was a luxury saloon car produced by British Motor Corporation (BMC) from 1964 to 1968. It was the flagship model of the Princess range, and was based on the Austin Westminster and Vanden Plas Princess 4-Litre R. The Princess Vanden Plas 4 Litre R was powered by a 3,993 cc (243.6 cu in) straight-six engine, which produced 175 bhp (130 kW; 177 PS) at 5,000 rpm and 215 lb⋅ft (292 N⋅m) of torque at 3,000 rpm. The engine was mated to a four-speed manual transmission or a three-speed automatic transmission. The Princess Vanden Plas 4 Litre R was capable of a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h), and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 10.4 seconds.

The Princess Vanden Plas 4 Litre R was a well-equipped car, and came standard with many features that were not available on other cars of its era. These features included power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, leather seats, and a sunroof. The Princess Vanden Plas 4 Litre R was also very spacious, and could comfortably seat five adults.

The Princess Vanden Plas 4 Litre R was a popular car with both the public and the press. It was praised for its performance, comfort, and style. However, the Princess Vanden Plas 4 Litre R was also a very expensive car, and its sales were limited. Only 6,958 units were produced during its four-year production run.

Today, the Princess Vanden Plas 4 Litre R is a sought-after classic car. It is considered to be one of the best luxury saloons of its era, and is highly prized by collectors.
