The Austin Ambassador was a medium-to-large hatchback automobile introduced by British Leyland (BL) in 1982. The car was a heavily updated version of the Princess, an ageing model which lacked a hatchback. Only the doors and inner structure were carried over, but the slightly wedge-shaped design betrayed the car's Princess origins, and it was not considered a truly new model.

- The Austin Ambassador was a medium-to-large hatchback automobile introduced by British Leyland (BL) in 1982. The car was a heavily updated version of the Princess, an ageing model which lacked a hatchback. Only the doors and inner structure were carried over, but the slightly wedge-shaped design betrayed the car's Princess origins, and it was not considered a truly new model. To some extent a competitor to smaller-engined models of the Austin Rover Group's own Rover SD1, sales were low and the model was discontinued in 1984. Unlike the Princess, there was no 6-cylinder 2.2 litre version; the Ambassador was initially offered in 4-cylinder 1.7 litre and 2.0 litre (single carburettor) variants, in "L", "HL" and "HLS" trims. Instead of the previous premium 2.2 litre models, there were the HLS and later Vanden Plas trim levels, both with a twin-carburettor version of the 2.0 litre engine. In 1983, the 2.0 litre HL was upgraded to also use the more powerful twin-carburettor engine. A four-speed manual gearbox (and automatic) were the only transmissions offered, with commentators citing the lack of a fifth gear for the manual tranmission as one of the car's drawbacks. The Ambassador was built in right hand drive only and thus was never exported, and few remain on the roads of Britain today (approximately 250 out of 43,500). The Ambassador was discontinued in 1984, with no official replacement. The gap it left in the Austin-Rover range was effectively filled by the slightly smaller Montego, and by the new generation of smaller Rovers.
- Der BL LM19 war eine fünftürige Fließhecklimousine der oberen Mittelklasse, die unter BL ab 1980 entwickelt und von der Austin Rover Group 1982 bis 1984 unter der Verkaufsbezeichnung Austin Ambassador (englisch ambassador = Gesandter, Botschafter) angeboten wurde. Der Wagen stellte eine Weiterentwicklung des ursprünglich viertürigen Princess-Modells (Codename ADO71) dar. Das Facelift fiel so gründlich aus, dass nur die Türen und der innere Aufbau beibehalten wurden. Im Gegensatz zum Princess wurde der Wagen nur als Rechtslenker produziert und ausschließlich in Großbritannien angeboten.
- Austin Ambassador är en personbil, tillverkad av British Leyland mellan 1982 och 1984. Ambassador-modellen, som introducerades våren 1982, var i praktiken en rejäl uppdatering av företrädaren Leyland Princess. Karossen hade modifierats med en ny front, c-stolpen hade fått ett fönster för bättre runt-om-sikt och baktill hade bilen fått en stor halvkombi-lucka. Den sexcylindriga motorn från företrädaren utgick och ersattes av en tvåförgasarvariant av tvålitersmotorn. Efter Princess-modellens misslyckande utomlands, försökte British Leyland inte ens exportera efterträdaren och alla Ambassador-bilar byggdes med högerstyrning.
