1987 DAIMLER LIMOUSINE AUTO - 4235CC
ESTIMATE £5,000 - £6,000
Chassis number SADDWATL3AC200968 - This example has been in the hands of the current registered keeper and vendor for nearly 18 years. The DS420 was announced in June 1968 to replace the DR450 which had been based on the Majestic Major. Unlike its predecessor, it had no Daimler engineering, but was entirely a Jaguar product, using the 4.2 litre version of the Jaguar XK straight-six engine. It also replaced the Vanden Plas 4-Litre Princess Limousine, and was initially produced at the Vanden Plas works in Kingsbury, North London. These cars are classed as State cars, and have been used in the Royal Mews by the Queen and Queen Mother but unlike the Royal Rolls Royce and Bentley models in the Royal fleet, they always displayed registration plates. This particular vehicle has been used as part of a wedding car fleet and benefits from a current MOT until July 2019. The vendor informs us this example drove a distance of nearly 80 miles to reach our auction with no issues.
