This truly exceptional example of this marque, much loved by royalty, had only 3 owners up to 2002 when it was purchased by a Mr Farrand who embarked on a major programme of restoration and enhancement.

The fully documented acquisition and restoration programme resulted in an outlay of over £30,000 and resulted in the Daimler and Lanchester Owners Club Confirmation Document of July 2011 declaring as follows ;

• Body structure – First Class

• Brightwork/chrome – Concours

• Trim/interior – First Class

• Chassis – First Class

• Paintwork – Concours

• Engine Condition – First Class

• Tyres/Wheels – First Class

Sadly, the then owner passed away shortly after this and the car has been dry / museum stored since.

Its condition is still magnificent and it drives in the serene manner for which the Daimler Marque was renowned.

Realistically priced to sell and surely the best available at only £18,995. The only reason for sale is to make room for new acquisitions in our museum. P/Ex a pleasure.
