The Daimler Limousine DS-420 from our collection was built in 1975 and is one of the few with left hand drive. This vehicle has been and is historically one of the most glamorous, representative of luxury and arisocracy.

Very similar in measurements  to the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI Limousine, its chassis is based on the Jaguar 420G. It has a 6-cylinder engine that delivers power of 245 hp, an automatic 3-speed gearbox, independent suspension, 4 disc brakes and can reach 176 km/h. It has the engine of the Jaguars that won the Le Mans race in its day.  Inside bodywork was carried out by VandenPlas.

Some of the celebrities and royal families who used this model are, for example: Prince Frederick of Denmark and the Australian lawyer Mary Donaldson, who rode in a Daimler Limousine after their wedding. That model was black and displayed a number plate with the crown of the Nordic country and the number one, indicating that it is the first car of the royal family. The same is true in England and Sweden where the Daimler Limousine was the official car of the royal family.

This vehicle also has been used in countless films and music videos, always as a luxury car. In 1997 it was used by James Bond in "Tomorrow Never Dies“, as he heads to Heathrow Airport escorted by the police. It also appears in films like "The Da Vinci Code" or "Patriot Games" and music videos like that of the Eurythmics singing "Love is a stranger".
