The King of Afghanistan had an early Hooper bodied D36 - body number 9225 - but date and chassis number not given. Another source says chassis 51727 was bought by the Afghan king and still exists in the Afghan Kabul National museum. Chassis 51724 was a Hooper Green Goddess DHC, ordered late 48 and delivered May 49, so 51727 likely to be same year. |

Royal Daimlers (B.E.Smith) states that 51727 - having first been used in GB - became the property of the King of Afghanistan in 1949. |
