Developed fromDaimler-Benz DB 601
The Daimler-Benz DB 605 is a German aircraft engine, built during World War II. Developed from the DB 601, the DB 605 was used from 1942 to 1945 in the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter, and the Bf 110 and Me 210C heavy fighters. The DB 610, a coupled "power system" powerplant comprising a pair of side-by-side configured examples of the DB 605, geared together in the front to turn a single output shaft, was used in Germany's only operational heavy bomber, the Heinkel He 177.
License-built versions of the DB 605 were used in the Macchi C.205, Fiat G.55, Reggiane 2005 and some other Italian aircraft. It was also initially used in the pusher-design Swedish Saab J21. Approximately 42,400 DB 605s of all kinds were built.

FYS 999 is a Daimler CVD650-30D/Alexander H41/32R. New to Glasgow Corporation as D217 in 1958. It then passed to GGTE with the business in 1973 before being purchased by Greyhound of Arbroath for further service before withdrawal from service in 1978. It soon made an unexpected return to service with Glasgow City Tours in 2003 before the service was sold to First & was numbered 39999 in the national numbering series. The bus soon returned to preservation in 2006 by the GVVT. It was taken at the Riverside Museum during the Great Big Bus Tours.
Posted today for birthday reasons of one of it's owners, is this wonderful Daimler Roadliner, formerly Bournemouth Transport no. 55 (KRU 55F), seen here not far from the erstwhile Wedgwood factory, during the 2012 POPS rally.

The initials stand for three great Automotive engineers, K.P. Knight of Wisconsin USA, Henri Pieper of Belgium and Fredrick Lanchester of England. It is the ancestor of such vehicles as the Alexander Dennis Enviro 400H as it used Knight-patent sleeve-valve internal combustion power units in conjunction with Pieper dynamotors, able both to generate power and recover it, and lead acid-accumulators.
In order to reach the Metropolitan Police weight stipulation, Lanchester designed a fully integral structure based on a steel channel pressing carrying the lower passenger deck and fixed rigidly to the remaining body frame. Another weight saving feature were the wire wheels, courtesy Rudge-Whitworth of Coventry. The rear pair were 48in diameter and the front pair 40in. Unusually for any vehicle of the time and uniquely for a bus, it had brakes on all four wheels.
In a notorious meeting shortly after the KPL was announced, the owners of the Tilling-Stevens patents were assured that they would not be competed with by London General Omnibus Co on the streets of London and that the Underground group, shortly to purchase LGOC, would pay the legal costs if Tilling sued Daimler over infringement of their patents. They did so; such a move today amounting to anti-competitive behaviour and subject to massive fines;
Daimler lost the initial trial and gave up (later they drove Argyll Motors to recievership despite the Scottish company winning the patent suit with Daimler over sleeve-valve engines).
Thus the KPL was unable to work in London and apart from a brief spell in service with Midland Red in 1911 this advanced bus was stymied. Instead Daimler reached an accommodation with The Combine (the rather sinister contemporary nickname for Underground Electric Railways of London Ltd and its associates and collaborators) and came up with the utterly conventional CC instead. On some demonstrations DU1254 ran with a fully enclosed top deck, then uncommon even on trams and only previously seen on motorbuses in Widnes...

Originally built in 1922 & reconditioned in 1927. Body by London-based Dodson family (who established the Vectis Bus Co in 1921). Acquired by the Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum in 2017 for restoration (it has housed chickens somewhere on the island for many years). There is an appeal to raise funds for the restoration.
This is a rare 1910 Daimler Tourer that was on display at the museum.

Jaguar/Daimler XJ40 – The Essential Buyer’s Guide By Peter Crespin
The XJ40 had a long development history and underwent sophisticated and thorough testing on several continents. Featuring an array of high-tech features such as a digital dashboard, it drove superbly and won the UK’s prestigious ‘Car of the Year’ award. Most early cars have gone to the crusher by now, and those that remain are be of variable quality. Even the last XJ40s are now 14 years old and can suffer terminal decline. For the careful buyer, however, they represent true bargain luxury cars, provided you buy a good example.
This book will help you pick a sound car and avoid the depressing experience of buying a superficially pretty XJ40, which turns out to have serious problems through neglect or wear. It takes you step by step through your initial viewing and a more detailed inspection, where each aspect of the car is given an objective numerical score reflecting its condition, with the total overall score supporting your decision to buy or walk away. There is no safer way to avoid buying a bad car short of paying for a professional evaluation.
