1974 Daimler DS420

History

Daimler Automobile Company was formed in England in 1896.

The Daimler DS 420 limousines were produced by a special division of Jaguar from 1970 until 1992. They were completely made to order with a limitless selection of options, including a bar and television. Three types of flag mounts were also offered, as well as a teardrop royal police light on the roof. The Royal household has five DS420 limousines in their fleet of motorcars and the 420 is known for being owned by heads of state and is the popular choice for use at weddings around the world.
