Daimler DS420

The Daimler DS420, also known as the Daimler Limousine, was a limousine made by the Daimler Company between 1968 and 1992 for official use, and was popular with chauffeur services, hoteliers and undertakers. It served as an official state car in many countries, and no other limousine has been delivered to more reigning monarchs; it is still used by the royal houses of the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark and Luxembourg. After Jaguar, BMC and British Leyland came together, the DR450 and the Vanden Plas Princess were consolidated into this single model under the Daimler name, with most engineering by Jaguar. It was built on the floorpan of the Jaguar 420G with the wheelbase extended 21 inches and the XK engine of 4.2 litres, and production was announced in June 1968, with cars built at the Vanden Plas works in Kingsbury.
