Re: Daimler DB18 Consort 1951,low mileage one family ownership

Re: DS420 x 2 Historics auction

Re: Daimler Six V20\25 1933 HN8980

I should have read your reply before I bid Stan, I only own post war Daimler’s, have never owned a pre war Daimler, unaware they take a while to warm up. Because of the exhaust smoke, I factored in possible repairs (and retrimming to something more tasteful!), I stopped bidding at 11k (also Stopped ...

Re: DB18 rear light lenses
