Description
There were just 351 Series One Daimlers delivered by the factory to Vanden Plas for their significantly enhanced finishes. These special order cars had a unique range of metallic paint colour options, vinyl roof with chrome finishers and chrome side body flashes. This particular car has the extra cost option of chrome pressed wheels. Inside, the Vanden Plas Daimlers are radically different to standard with highly polished veneer and gold banding, door cappings, sculptured seating, pile carpeting, special door panels and rear reading lamps. All were V12 with air conditioning. This exceptionally special car was with its original owner until three years ago having been little used, and it has recently had an extensive programme of works to return to the road with 2, 000 miles covered since, bringing the total mileage to just 32, 000 fro new. The bodywork, interior, engine bay and chrome is just incredible, and this could well be the very best surviving example. Finished in Caramel, a vibrant, classic 70’s colour with pristine Chamois Hide.
