 Austin Princess or Princess?

 The others are listed as Princess. But I don't know how they were sold in Italy. Quad headlights indicate the 1800 version.

Yes, but the grille was different:

I don't know if the Wikipedia account helps with the listing, but here it is:

 Initially in Italy it was marketed as Austin Princess, but I don't remember if the name changed also here. Anyway the only version imported for the first series was the 1800 HL.

 Leyland loved their little jokes of renaming things for foreign markets, especially low volume countries. So let's assume a transporter of 4 Princesses (black grille with Princess script badge) are brand new for film date, so 1979 cars. And accept the evisence of that 1978 advert in link ^. So we now have a new version - 1979 Austin Princess 1800 HL, made for I for unique name.

And I bet that despite these marketing tricks, they still sold diddley squat numbers in Italy ....

 This film was shot in 1978 anyway, and released on January 1979..so they probably are 1978 brand new cars (never seen all those Princess together in Italy xD), by the way they are first or second series?
