The Appeal
How do you define luxury? Well, we reckon a Daimler DS420 serves as a pretty good definition. Supremely spacious, opulent trimmed in the finest materials and powered by a Le Mans-winning engine, it’s no wonder that these limousines were favoured by royalty and government officials.
This 1988 example has had just one former registered keeper and has been part of the vendor’s wedding hire fleet since 2000. Judiciously maintained, well preserved and highly presented inside and out, this looks to be a splendid example and the current advisory-free MOT provides reassurance that this car is in good health.
