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' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler_DR450 -- Last edit: 2007-07-24 06:19:55 |

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. |
