Cheapest Double Six ever ? ;-)

Post by Beat Weibel »

Most probably not a double six, neither a DE 27 but rather a mixture (prewar style lights but postwar style grill) of DB 18-1 and DB 18-2 with additional auxiliary seats. Consort with Windovers body?

Best regards
Beat

Too wide for a DB18 so my money's on a DE27 like this with the Windovers trade-mark droopy rear window. (I wonder where they got the 'double six' from?)

Google says.....

"Offered is a Daimler from the year 1949 saloon sedan windower special edition. This model is very, very rare.
The vehicle is ready to drive, but it would still be a few small things to do for the door. Vehicle is not roadworthy because no Tüv so no street legal. Unfortunately, the vehicle would have to be painted, see photos. Interior is in top condition.
Mileage can not be determined after the years.
Unfortunately I have to give the vehicle with a heavy heart because of lack of time.
I'm gladly available for more questions."

Odd there’s no under-bonnet photos.

I agree after comparing with some pictures: DE27 could be right.

By somebody waaaaay more expert than me....
It is indeed a Windovers-bodied Twenty-Seven(DE27), one of sixteen to carry their "136" style of coachwork.
