Former Cardiff Daimler Fleetline/Willowbrook PKG528H standing at Coventry Station on 13th August 1983. I recall this vehicle as being regularly used to carry visitors to Stratford Upon Avon, linking with train services from London. Possibly associated to the "Guide Friday" sightsseing operations in the town?
This is a Mk II variant of the Daimler Armoured Car, seen in the new hall at The Tank Museum, Bovington, Dorset. A development from the Dingo armoured car, the design dates from 1939. Armed mainly with a 2-pounder gun and a .303 machine-gun, 2,694 were built by Daimler in Coventry, in Mk I, Mk I CS (armed with a 76mm cannon) and Mk II variants. In WWII, they saw service in North Africa, Europe and the Far East. They served with the British Army from 1941 to 1964, and also with the Australians, Canadians, Indians, Israelis, Malaysians, New Zealanders and Sri Lankans.

6752 is just about to enter the old bus station in Walsall on a sunny day in early 1995. The old faithful "Circular" destination saves changing the blinds every 15 minutes or so at each terminus!
One of 12 ever made and one of 4 in existence today. Saratoga may not have a quantity of exotic cars like Miami, but the amount of quality exotics is unreal!

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!

Was wondering how long it would be before I bumped into this again...
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 one of the oldest British cars. It has a number of unusual features including Hot Tube ignition, tiller steering, and brakes that clamp down onto the tires of the rear wheels.

1965 Daimler 2.5.Litre V8 in gold, seen at the Strathaven & District Round Table Annual Classic Vehicle Rally.
(Not the German one, the English one)
Once again this is NOT my drawing (I'd surely take credit for it if I could). It IS, however, for sale if you'd like to buy it. It's the work of Paul Bambrick of Bambrick Studios in the UK:
bambrickstudio.co.uk/engine-drawings/
The original drawing is pencil on board, 22" x 33", and the price is around 1800 pounds Sterling (about $2350).
The engine is a 4.5 litre Daimler V8, featuring hemispherical combustion chambers and a pair of very British SU carburetors. Daimler also made a smaller, 2.5 litre version of this same engine design for the Daimler SP250 sports car.
The front of a car brochure for the Daimler SP250 V8 a.k.a Daimler Dart. This was a splendid car of it's time with a big V8 2.5 litre engine and a polyester body making it very light indeed. The Police had some of these for motorway work as they could catch almost anything. Interestingly the brochure features a left-hand drive model on the front, even though it was the U.K. edition.
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.

Up for auction, with some scrapes. I don't think it sold.

The Daimler DB18 is an automobile produced by Daimler from 1939 until 1953. It is a 2½-litre version of the preceding 2.2-litre New Fifteen introduced in 1937. From 1949, the DB18 was revised to become the Daimler Consort.
No correspondence.

The relevance of the chevron being worn on the arm of the man on the right is unknown.

Had great fun last night during the BoA phography group meeting. We all met up and the theme for the night was to go off and take random photos at every 20 paces or so - with the intention of meeting up 1hr later at a pub.
Near the end of the walk we discovered this lovely Daimler parked amongst some grass and shrubs near the Tithe Barn.
I've used a PS filter to really add some saturation and depth of colour to this. Don't normally like car photos but i'm pleased with this one.
