Re: Daimler Majestic Special YYL 30
Thanks for the advice John, I will definitely give that approach a go in the future.

Re: Daimler Majestic Special YYL 30
Thanks for the reply John, knowing that you have achieved this in a home workshop is truly inspirational, I'm frankly flabbergasted! The main problems I had were in making the original mould. I ended up using a rough cardboard box template which I filled with squirty expanding foam, I removed this f...

Re: Daimler Majestic Special YYL 30
Hi John, the build seems to be going fantastically well and the car will look spectacular. Given your history with fibreglass specials, I'm assuming you have quite a few trade contacts, so I was wondering how much of the bodywork is achievable at home and what the processes are. I had to make up a c...

Re: Drive-It day 2022
Took the DQ to Klondyke Mill, no other Daimlers, lots of triumphs and Austin 7s and an interesting mercury station wagon. Some nice traction engines and steam rollers and a great workshop

Re: Daimler Majestic Special YYL 30
This is obviously going to be an exceptional car and I would like to congratulate you on it. Also, I saw a light blue Riley special at the NEC classic car show last year and I seem to remember, after some googling the name John Barlow came up in association with that. Was that one of yours? If so, i...

Re: fuel level sensor
Hi, I don't own an SP, but the upset you feel due to the lack of help you have received has prompted me to respond. I own a DQ and expect that the looms are sufficiently similar that it's worth sharing its wiring with you. The sender is the older style Smiths type and has two electrical connections,...

Re: Majestic Major
I will be letting it go assuming the buyer turns up next Saturday to collect. The price is about what I expected and is certainly sufficient for my purposes.
Cheers, John
