The Daimler Freeline was an underfloor-engined bus and coach chassis built by Daimler between 1951 and 1964, the first of only three Daimler passenger vehicle models to have a name as well as an alphanumeric identity. It was a very poor seller in the UK but a substantial export success. Daimler announced it in April 1950, and the first two were demonstrators, one bodied by Burlingham in the Seagull coach style and one by Duple, shown in Edinburgh Corporation livery at the 1951 Scottish Motor Show. Like its Leyland and AEC rivals it had a high straight steel ladder frame, and three power units were offered, the Gardner 5HLW and 6HLW and Daimler's own horizontal D650H of 10.6 litres, which gave 150 bhp by 1953, class leading at the time.
