1936 plate, reused here. Due to the casual way this sequence is used in this film, I'm not sure this is the primary source - it may have come from something more specific.

A "4 1/2" litre, actually 4,624c.c., would be a V4 1/2 or perhaps F4 1/2, and not a V26. The V26 designation was given to the earlier cars with an engine displacement of 3.746c.c.

@daimlere20 - see its other sighting and
daimlere20 wrote Straight-Eight, most likely on the V26 chassis.

I have only just come across this again looking for something completely different. To clarify my comments above: this car is a V4 1/2. V26, V4 1/2 & F4 1/2 are all are Straight-Eights. However, you can't have a 4 1/2 litre V26.

Not sure exactly how you want this entered. Can remove [V26] easily enough, but after that?? Straight Eight 4½ Litre [V4]?? Straight Eight 4½ Litre [F4]?? Or something else?

Is it same type as CXR 240, a survivor also seen here (with more modern bumper??) and described as "Daimler 32hp Straight Eight"??

It is a minefield, not helped by the fact that virtually all of the Daimler Co. records were destroyed in the blitz. Things are further made difficult by the way owners and enthusiasts refer to their vehicles by chassis type and not model name (myself included). "Daimler 32hp Straight-Eight" is quite correct, the "32hp" informing you that it is a 4 1/2 litre car.
V26, V4 1/2, & F4 1/2 are chassis types, and not model names. If I were to caption this, I would probably use "Daimler Straight-Eight (V4 1/2)", but even the Co. themselves used differing descriptions for the same models!

CXR is indeed the same, with what looks to be a postwar 27hp or 36hp bumper fitted. I attended that Sandringham rally. Norfolk had genuinely not seen rain for months and that day it rained.

Only Daimler would ever have a model code ending in a fraction ...
