1973 Daimler DS420 Limousine
The Daimler DS420, was a luxury limousine, available from 1968-92. No other limousine model has been delivered to more reigning monarchs than the DS420.
Daimler was purchased by Jaguar in 1960, which itself was bought by BMC in 1966 and became part of British Leyland in 1968. BMC and Jaguar each had their own limousines before merging operations: the Vanden Plas Princess and the Daimler DR450, respectively. Rather than build two competing products, they decided to consolidate limousine production to a single model under the Daimler marque. The DS420 shared parts such as the engine, gearbox, and suspension with the Jaguar 420G.
The 1972 update saw changes to grille, badges and amount of woodwork in the interior.
The 1979 facelift saw larger bumpers and a revised rear number-plate frame
The 1987 facelift saw new, plastic-coated bumpers and minor changes to the interior.
Engine; 4200cc 6 cyl Jaguar
