1965 Daimler Black/Charcoal DR450 is a limousine variant of the Majestic Major DQ450 saloon. Produced from 1961 to 1968, it was the last complete car designed by The Daimler Limited Company. Only 864 of this model were produced with only 25 registered still available. A rare opportunity to find this type of classic car that still retains the original owners manual. Engine and transmission are original and still in operating condition. Interior Divider window is operational with the rear auto window buttons. The brakes will need to be replaced but with some minor restoration this could easily be back on the road for your special event. Original odometer reads 45,000 miles Autocar road testers said "Few cars possess the Jekyll and Hyde personality of the Daimler limousine in providing very high performance, comfort, safety and enormous carrying capacity . . . after enjoying the Daimler for its special merits of high performance and excellent handling, one feels even a little sympathy for chauffeurs who may rarely have the opportunity to discover for themselves the other side of the car's character."· chassis: massive box-section and cross-braced frame, separate from the all-steel body· suspensionfront: Girling type with semi-trailing wishbones and forward facing arms, coil springs, Girling telescopic dampersrear: live axle, half-elliptic leaf springs, Girling telescopic dampers· wheels: 16 in (406.4 mm) pressed steel, 5 studs, rims—5.5 in (139.7 mm)· steering: Hydrosteer power assisted· steering wheel diameter 18 in (457.2 mm)· steering column: adjustable for reach· headlamps two 50/40 watts and fog lamps· heating and ventilation are independently provided for rear and front compartments· seating, three on the front bench seat, three on the back seat and two on the folding occasional seats· folding occasional seats have received particular care in shaping for comfort and support.
