The Daimler Company of Coventry, England, was a favorite of British royalty and the company's craftsmen not only built King George VI's State Limousines, but those of his father George V and grandfather Edward VII. The DE36 model first appeared in 1946, and was, in fact, much favored by royal families the world over. During its 8-year production run, a mere 205 examples were produced. They featured Britain's last straight-eight production engine. Despite the postwar austerity, a number of very flamboyant DE 36 specials were produced by in-house coachbuilder Hooper & Company at the bequest of Lady Norah Docker, wife of Sir Bernard Docker, the chairman of the parent company. This Hooper-bodied drop head coupe sports extremely advanced styling for its time.Also photographed at :     | Site Map | Contact | About Us | Terms Of Use / Privacy Policy | Links | carAuctionValues |
