Probably a 1924 to 1932 Daimler 35/120. Doesn't look long enough to be a 1927 to 1930 Double 6-50. |

I think it matches 1929 Daimler Double Six Brougham by Hooper now in Sandringham Museum. Quote "purchased by King George V for personal use and delivered in 1929. A similar enclosed limousine was purchased by Queen Mary. The coachwork by Hooper is referred to as a Brougham. Among many special features the woodwork inside is dark polished mahogany with fittings of silver and white ivory. The rear compartment is trimmed with blue Vaumol leather. The Royal identification lamp was fitted to the canopy and the car painted in the Royal Colours with the appropriate heraldic decoration. After service the Brougham was returned to the Daimler factory where it suffered badly during the war. The car was presented to the Queen by Daimler in 1968 and considerable restoration brought it back to the condition seen today." KG's marroon car pictured at http://globaltravels.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mh_england/england.htm - 3/4 down the page - but QM's green twin is also a possibility. Has Royal shield on front of roof, and neither car would have had number plates as sovereign transport. Both recently modelled by Oxford Diecasts - Link to "www.ehattons.com" and Link to "www.ehattons.com" - the models show all black radiator surrounds and have radiator mascots (KG had Britannia on a globe, Mary Britannia holding a crown) plus both side door handles plated on each side. Picture above looks LHD but probably an effect, not real. -- Last edit: 2012-03-22 18:42:22 |

I don't believe this to be a Double-Six. All except the very earliest had a division down the middle of the radiator, to denote that the engine had two sides. The Brougham in the Royal collecion has the dividing bar. The line of the bonnet gives a date of about 1924-26. Four-wheel brakes became standard in 1924, but were an option before then. The coachwork certainly has the Hooper look about it. |

It doesn't look mighty enough to be a Double Six. Rhd, although the Daimler's driver looks rather ghostly, hope he's not undead. A neighbour of mine went that way - we had to keep wild garlic around the front windows for a year. |

OK - changed to 45 hp by Hooper [TJ] which seems best composite from the various comments. Anyone else have remedies for dealing with undead neighbours - maybe a forum thread topic?? |
