Tints, rear headrests, strong coachline. Possibly a Sovereign. Not convinced it has enough window chrome for a Daimler - it looks Jag black - and I don't think Daimler name was used in D to avoid upsetting Mercedes (fairly sure this has been tossed around before, but I've forgotten the outcome). |

Daimler AG is only allow to use the name as a trade or company name, according to Wiki. |

Daimler was sold in Germany, at least until the late 1990s afaik |

We already have a lot of Daimler in DE productions though often with some weird irregularities. Worth one of our German speakers consulting their reference sources to see what versions were sold in what years IMO. Not a Sovereign, they had chrome window trim. My hunch was one of the runout XJ6 models, but I found this car from a hire company in Cologne which looks like a match for the gold pinstripe, colour and general trim: https://www.filmauto.de/filmauto/fahrzeug/jaguar/Jaguar_166 /vehicle_1251626-Jaguar-XJ12-XJ81-1994.html 1994 XJ12. Daimler grille and a few other posh bits (individual rear seats which was usually a Daimler thing) but ID is secure as a Jag with a few Insignia special order boxes ticked. -- Last edit: 2020-03-19 08:44:16 |
