Sunbar ◊ 2007-12-23 17:00	Yes, according to the Daimler DS420 site http://www.myds420.info/hearses.html its a Wilcox (before they transferred production to Eagle Specialist Vehicles). The site's information for the year of manufacture appears to be based on model year for B registered vehicles, confirmed by the DVLA data. Pictures from the actual drive from the funeral in London to burial on Northamptonshire shows the rear lights are the specific design for Wilcox and Eagle, not the Daimler ones carried over by Woodall Nicholson. http://www.myds420.info/hearses/Diana.html
