Years ago l was driving in Norfolk, Virginia one afternoon when l noticed a classic car up ahead. It was a huge Daimler limousine that appeared to be from the late 1940s or early 50s. It was a deep maroon color with black fenders. It looked like it was almost twice as tall as my car and it was the most beautiful automobile l ever saw. The only other time l ever saw one in person was in a car museum.

My brother owns a 1927 Daimler 20/70. The handbook servicing  schedule It is based on driving approximately 1000 miles per month. and the vehicle came with a five year warranty on the chassis and running gear, one year on the body.
A five year/100,000 mile warranty in 1927!  
Almost a centuary later Rolls Royce offers a four year warranty, Bentley three years.

When I arrived in Hong Kong, long before the Chinese to take back possession, I was able to ride from their Airport to my Hotel in a Daimler.  It was truly grand transportation and HUGE inside. Happy memories.

I had a 1967 Sovereign 420 once ...what a car

You rarely see a Daimler in the USA. Occasionally I see a DS420 Limousine parked near Wall St in NYC. The first time I had ever seen one or knew that a Daimler existed was a trip to Canada in 1977.

Daimler had very smooth sliding cylinder valve engines.

I mention of the db18 consort or sports special? The consort was both pre and post war. Very strange to have left it out.

Thank you for posting this.
It's intresting.

Fantastic effort #OurHistory

Hi, I'm preserving Pulling Power - do you have more of that show? Would love to hear from you on it to fill the gaps on my collection. This show is still lost media.

Im hoping to see a db18 1949 for restoration tomorrow

Time Line 15:44 to see the Best Daimler Ever!

It would be better to see the image not squashed.  At present everything is unnaturally skinny, and wheels are ellipses.

Thats my car😁😁😁😁

Aspect ratio borked.

Daimler is king of automobile industry👑👑

Shame about the aspect ratio. It spoils otherwise interesting content.

Why the thumbnail of a Mercedes?

Why is Daimler not produced by Jaguar today?

Just a shame that Nora wasted so much time and effort on vulgar monstrosities. She had several years at that caper before Sir Bernard left under the cloud of an insurance scandal.  By the time Jaguar took over, the production of Fleetline busses had dwindled to almost nothing - but it revived under Jaguar. Jaguar was a mixed blessing. It was good that Daimler versions of Jaguar cars were introduced. the 2.5l V8 did well. But Sir William already had a sports car in his range. He did not need the SP250. The larger V8 should have been used in the Daimler version of the 420: The Sovereign, (and possibly the Mk10), and the Majestic Major dropped - fine car though it was in many ways. I owned one, and some features were very crude. The leading edges of the front doors were tucked inside the trailing edges of the front wings. Yipes! Contemporary Jaguars were much better finished.

And the perennial problem was that the British rarely bothered to sell their cars overseas - other than in the Empire, whereas everybody else sold their cars in the empire.
