General description :
1935 Daimler Light 15 Mulliner Coupe.
Nut & bolt restored to Concours condition. This little Daimler was a labor of love restored over several years to Concours condition. This included a full mechanical rebuild in addition to bodywork, interior & paint. The car has a smooth 6 cylinder engine enlarged to 2003cc for the 1935 model year. The engine is linked to a Wilson Pre Selector gearbox. The car performs surprisingly well easily able to run in modern B road traffic.
The car is a charming little gem & incredibly rare. It is finished in metallic dark grey paint along with black wings & a black rexine leathercloth boot covering & roof covering. Faux pram irons adorn the sides of the roof. The interior has been impeccably executed in grey leather with all the interior woodwork having been removed & refinished. Usefully an oil pressure gauge & temperature gauge have been installed on the dashboard. The car abounds with delightful period details wherever one looks.
Available to view in Belgium, the car has been part of a small collection & is now being sold due to the advanced age of the current owner. The car is in simply impeccable condition & is a credit to its owner. It brings smiles from bystanders wherever it goes.

About Daimler
Daimler was an independent British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in London by H. J. Lawson in 1896. To secure the name they bought the right to the use of the Daimler name simultaneously from Gottlieb Daimler and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. Britain's oldest car manufacturer was purchased by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in 1910 after numerous ownership arrangements.
Under BSA era they produced some of the most outrageous luxury cars such as low-chassis Daimler double-six 50hp, commercial vehicles, and military vehicles including tanks and a four-wheel-drive armoured scout car, nicknamed Dingo (WWII).
Postwar Daimler's most significant achievement came in the form of so called Turner engines, when Ed Turner, head of the automotive division, designed a series lightweight hemi head Daimler 2.5 & 4.5 Litre V8 Engines.
In May 1960, the Daimler business was purchased from BSA by Jaguar that was looking for the manufacturing facilities. This eventually led to Daimler becoming just a badge engineered jaguar.
The real tragedy is that Jaguar complitely failed to use the potential of Turner's hemi engines, that in all ernest were superior to Jaguar's XK design. Just imagine, if E-type had been introduced with the 4.5 light alloy v8 in 1961, what a rocket ship that would have made!
