I think it was commonly referred to only as 'the Daimler Limousine' as listed in the new car price guide of the Autocar magazine in 1964 for 2,809 pounds while a Majestic Major costed 2,113 pounds, A Jaguar Mk 2 3.8 costed 1,445 pounds.
although it was officially named 'the Daimler DR 450 Limousine'

What about 'Daimler Limousine' and [DR450] as chassis code?

Well, if DR450 name is like the DS420 name, it would be better to have it in model name like the DS420

Since the listing according to Autocar of the day was Daimler Limousine, and DR450 was the factory reference, I think that we can refer to it as Daimler Limousine (DR450)

I agree with Samyuk and DynaMike; it was just called Daimler Limousine by the period publications.

The Daimler Co. were notoriously bad at changing model descriptions, just as owners are guilty of using chassis designations.

Correctly, this car is a Daimler Limousine. The chassis designation would be either DR450(RHD) or DR451(LHD).

To illustrate why chassis designations are sometimes more useful when researching:

A "V26" is actually a Straight-Eight.

A "V4 1/2" is actually a Straight-Eight.

A "DE36" is actually a Straight-Eight.

It soon becomes obvious why chassis designations are employed!

Is anyone able to make that registration out?

Can't read enough of it, but looks like 1965 C plate.
