The marriage of Edward Turners superb V8 engine to a Jaguar Mk.II hull and automatic gearbox, manual option rare and available only from early 1967.
The model was updated and renamed as a Daimler V8 250 for the final two years, with slimline bumpers but non of the other austerities suffered on the late Jaguar Mk.IIs

I was recently very kindly given a disc of old car show photos from the mid to late 70's which were found on glass slides in a skip and then scanned to disc, i thought i'd uploaded them to here, there are over 1100 images so it could take me a while!
Another recently 'found photo' is this Daimler DB18, registration MRB 484, issued in Derbyshire from September 1948. It looks a little tired, so that the view probably dates from the 1950s.

This one is the famous Austro-Daimler Sascha (or Sascha Porsche) from 1922 and designed byFerdinand Porsche. It was named by Porsche after Sascha Kolowrat-Krakowsky, a friend who had encouraged him to build a small, lightweight sports car.
The London Ambulance Service Historic Collection has a number of classic ambulances available for events, film and television work. The ambulances have been maintained in their original condition and still have all of the equipment used when they were in service.
Daimler was one of the first automotive companies to design a purpose built ambulance chassis after the Second World War. After considerable research, the DC27 was designed to meet the needs of the London County Council (LCC) Ambulance Service and it was developed with the capital in mind. Initially, 120 of the type were ordered by the LCC and this vehicle was the first one delivered, hence its fleet number ‘A1’. In total 499 Daimler DC27 ambulances were built and used by ambulance services all over the United Kingdom.
The DC27 ambulance was constructed to be a low as possible to assist crews with getting patients and stretchers in and out of the vehicle. The rear floor is a composite concrete construction which weighs 300kg and was intended to keep the rear wheels on the ground at all times and especially in the wet.
The first production models had ash-framed and metal-clad bodies built by the coach builders Baker & Co, while later models were built by Hooper. Although very similar, the chief difference is that the Baker bodies have two waist bands and the Hooper bodies only have the one.
Originally this vehicle was fitted with rod-operated brakes, but these proved unreliable and after some spectacular accidents they were replaced by more conventional hydraulic brakes. The vehicle is fitted with three scissor jacks, one in front of the engine and one on each side just inside of the rear wheels, and although this adds weight to the design, it does make it simpler to change a tyre. This was also one of the last designs of ambulances to carry a spare wheel on board (stored behind the driver’s seat) and subsequent designs didn’t allow for a spare.
This vehicle was first registered on 1 February 1949 and was used in central London until the late 1950s. After retirement it was passed into the service historic fleet and has been maintained in the condition in which it served complete with much of its original equipment.

Seen at Stockwood Park, Luton whilst attending the 1996 Luton Festival of Transport is this rather splendid Daimler Limousine.
In 1966 Daimler Transport Vehicles of Coventry produced a lavish book to celebrate 70 years afloat. The book looks at the company's various models and operators who bought and used Daimler buses and coaches. The book is a devil to scan/photograph as it is a plastic cover and binding so apologies for the quality of the images.
This image is rather fine - Provincial Tramways of Grimsby's charabancs with fleet number 11, EE 901, to the front and a happy crowd ready for a ride!

The Super V8, also known as the Daimler Super Eight, was the most expensive model, with the XJR second. The Super V8, which debuted in the 2003 model year in the new X350 body style, was essentially a long-wheelbase, supercharged XJ8 with the more luxurious Vanden Plas, or Daimler interior.
Its primary competitor was the Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG. A distinctive wire mesh grille and chrome-finished side mirrors set the Super V8 and the XJR apart from the less expensive XJ saloons. In 2005, the Super V8 model was replaced by the Daimler Super Eight in all markets other than North America. The Daimler Super Eight was essentially the same car, but with the addition of a different grille, boxwood inlays in the wood veneer and several other interior luxuries as standard.
Daimler's US equivalent was no longer known as the Vanden Plas, but the Super V8. The Vanden Plas name was used on models that would be known as Sovereign elsewhere. Daimler has been the State Car for the British Prime Minister since the 1980s. For 2007, the premium model was the reintroduced Jaguar Sovereign when the Super V8 and Daimler versions were dropped.
Since then the Daimler badge hasn't been applied on another car. Although parent company TATA Steel hasn't officially retired the brand, it is still dormant, but with the promise that it may appear once again on another model, once again sporting that rippled grille.
EXPLORED! What do you do when you have a "divorce" from your parent company? Remove their name from your sign of course! You can still make out the word DAIMLER underneath the tape....
Daimler 4 litre Saloon in the collection of royal vehicles in the museum at Sandringham House. This was built for Queen Mary in 1947 and is painted green rather than the usual royal claret, allegedly to avoid unwanted attention when used on private occasions - hence the nickname!
It was once said: "the aristocracy buy Daimlers, the nouveau riche buy Rolls-Royce".
As a massive Rolls Royce fan I'm inclined to disagree, but I do agree that when it came to buying luxury cars when hitting the jackpot, the Daimler wasn't exactly everyone's first choice, which is something I can't understand why.
It can be said that their cars were just as luxury and capable as even the most top range machines Rolls Royce and Bentley could produce, and for Daimler, nothing topped their crowning achievement, the DS420.
The Daimler DS420 first entered production in 1968, being based on the chassis of the Jaguar Mk.X and being powered by a 4.2L Jaguar Straight-6 engine. The car was built largely to replace the earlier Daimler DR450, but also had a hand in seeing off the Vanden Plas Princess, and luxury version of the Austin Princess.
At the time of production Jaguar had just been nationalised into British Leyland, and by extension Daimler, which had been under ownership of the company since 1960. The DS420 was styled internally by the folks at Vanden Plas, who created probably the highest luxury car British Leyland had to offer, indeed locking horns with the Rollers of the day.
So beautiful and sleek was this machine that it made its way into the State Households of many European governments, including the British, Danish and Swedish Royal Houses.
But even though this car was truly magnificent, it never truly took off in the numbers that Rolls Royces were. Although bought off by aristocratic families and certain wealthy business executives, most of these cars found their way into the trade of Wedding Limousines, Hotel Transfer cars and, most prominently, Hearses.
Even so, the car did soldier on through the dark days of British Leyland, escaping the shoddy workmanship and striking unions that surrounded it, and managed to finish production in 1992 with 4,100 members built.
This one however is a truly fantastic example of one of these few remaining cars in motion. Although you may see a few still in the care of European Royal Families, private ones are very rare indeed. But the ones that continue to exist in private car will usually look as immaculate as this.
Or, if you're really desperate, invite yourself to someone's wedding, chances are one will show up there!

This is the basic Daimler Ferret scout car, modified to carry and fire the wire-guided British Air Corporation (BAC) Vigilant anti-tank guided missile (ATGM).
First developed in the 1950s, Vigilant was in service by 1960 and the modified Ferret variant was introduced in 1966. Vigilant had a range of some 1,500m and was purchased by Libya and the UAE. The weapon was not ideal on the Ferret, generating a degree of confusion as to whether the vehicles were truly meant to be stealthy reconnaissance vehicles, or whether they were meant to engage enemy tanks when seen.
This example is seen in The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset.
