Post-war austerity in Britain had a widespread and lasting effect. Upper-middle class society was changed forever, and conspicuous consumption became frowned upon.
One of the changes that affected the motor industry was the sharp reduction in staffed households. Without the means to employ a chauffeur, people were tending to drive themselves. They were also less inclinded to order bespoke bodywork from coachbuilders such as Vanden Plas. One way or another, this social change led to the birth of the executive class, with cars aimed squarely at the well-heeled owner-driver, and the company executive who had to drive himself at the weekend.
In 1959, the success of the previous year's Austin A105 Vanden Plas convinced BMC to produce a similar version based on its new Farina saloon, and in the process, the Vanden Plas name became a marque in its own right. A collaboration with Rolls Royce saw this car become the 4-litre R, and by the mid-Sixties, a replacement based on the forthcoming Austin 3-litre was being planned. However, a car pitched at this level in the range would not be allowed to survive follwing the merger of 1968, when its potential customers were expected to head for their nearest Rover showroom.
