Special:
- The 220 (W187) series was the first new body style produced after WWII, shown at the April ’51 Frankfurt International Motor Show and based on the 170 series, but the headlights were placed in the fenders, a straight-6 engine and more horsepower.
- There were 2 Convertible versions: the 220 A (1951-1955, 1,278 units built) and 220 B (1951-1954, 997 units built).
- The more sportier 220 A was a two-person car with a rear jump seat while the 220 B was a spacious four-seater with rear windows.
- This 220 series was the last model with the "suicide doors".
- It has a X-shaped oval tubular chassis, worm & lever steering, independent front suspension with wishbones and coil springs, swing-axle rear suspension with coil springs, a 6-Volts electric system, a Telefunken radio and four-wheel Duplex hydraulic drum brakes.
- The Typ M 180 SOHC engine has a four-speed manual gearbox (column lever), is fed by dual downdraft Solex 30 PAAJ carburettor, has rear wheel drive and 65 liter fuel tank.
- The dash leather was trimmed out in the same color as the seats, the dash top had veneered wood in burled elm, burled walnut or burled rosewood also matching the seat color and wool carpeting which was bound in scived leather also matching the seats.
- The trunk was carpeted in tan wool to match the optional fitted luggage.
- This new luxurious Convertible series were very expensive. At that time one "A" (about DM 18,300) costs about the same as 4 Volkswagen Beetles.

Following its trip earlier in the day to Ashbury in bright sunshine, the 1967 Daimler did another trip to Uffington later on.
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!
A photograph taken by Clem Smith at Hythe (Kent) in the early 1970s, where I believe he had arrived on a railtour to visit the famed Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. Never one to miss a photo opportunity he put his camera to work both inside and outside the station. Sadly the slides have deteriorated somewhat in the intervening years but with a bit of cleaning up and tweaking this one makes for reasonable viewing.
Maidstone & District had recently become part of the National Bus Company and their traditional green and cream livery saw the addition of NBC style fleetnames prior to re-paints. Here Northern Counties bodied Daimler Fleetline, 82 YKT sets off for Maidstone, passing an East Kent (former Southdown) Marshall bodied Leopard which had been the group's transport, parked outside the railway station.
The red 1600E (?) Mk 2 Cortina would be quite a sought after car nowadays.

Saw these Daimlers and Jag in a multi-storey I parked in recently. Clearly they'd been here for some time.
MOT on this one expired July 2012.
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 Uffington.

Salford renewed its fleet around 1950 and no new buses were bought for another ten years. One of the first to appear after this was 112, one of thirty and a Daimler like most of Salford's fleet at that time. It has a pre-selector gearbox and the selector pedal is completely mechanical. One drawback of this was that if the pedal was not pressed properly, it would kick back with great force against the driver's shin.
Built in 1962, Daimler CVG6 112 / TRJ112 survived to be the last Salford back-loader bus in service until it was bought for preservation in 1977. It was restored from GMT orange to its original green and cream colours, and later given a thorough overhaul ending in 2004. It is now on display in the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester.
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.
