British Classic
This Daimler was the best of several of these beautifully built cars. It was very smooth and quiet, and encouraged the calm, serene, polite style of driving, which we all enjoy at certain times. When in the mood, the right foot could be pushed into the Wilton, the gearbox would kick down and accompanied by a satisfying V8 burble, the car would surge forward in a most satisfying manner. The rear wheel arches, which would have originally been fitted with spats, were modified to the Coombes type. Compared to earlier Daimler built saloons this car was a bit of a revelation, the word acceleration did not seem to previously exist in the vocabulary of the Daimler designers!

Saw these Daimlers and Jag in a multi-storey I parked in recently. Clearly they'd been here for some time.

This one first registered in 1989, so either an import or perhaps one that had been in off-road since pre-DVLA computerisation days?

As half-cab buses were getting a bit scarce by December 1983, Thamesdown used two of its 1967 Daimler CVG6s on some interesting routes one Saturday.
Normally these would only have been used on school services. They weren't really 'old' just outmoded due to the switch to one person operation.
This is en-route to Blunsdon Abbey.
OK, so I’m no expert nor pay attention to cars much these days but my good friend has spent several years lovingly restoring and maintaining this beauty. She is absolutely immaculate inside and runs like new so today we went for a ride and a photo shoot. Whilst I enjoyed the smooth ride, he is enjoying the dozen or so photos he now has of the fruits of his labours. I had a little play about with this one in Affinity Photo to share here.
So, for the car enthusiasts:

In June 1974 Doncaster Transport had recently been absorbed into the South Yorkshire PTE, however most buses were still in Doncaster colours.
This Daimler was one of a remarkable 1963 batch that carried ex-TROLLEYBUS bodies! You can see the reinforcements where the trolley poles were and also the thick body pillar where the power supply was carried down to the motors.
