In 1951, this English brand, engulfed by Jaguar in 1960 (the year when this DB18 was released), was still the preferred brand of the royal family, who later turned to Rolls-Royce. This last DB18, equipped with a 2 ½-litre 6-cylinder engine, was launched in 1949 and dated back to 1939. After the sedan reproduced by Matrix, here is the convertible, designed by the coachbuilder Hooper.

Based on a Triumph TR3, the SP250 is a curiosity in the history of the Daimler Company, in the UK. Released in 1959, the car was upgraded in 1960 by Jaguar, which had just bought Daimler, and acquired an increased stiffness. Equipped with a 2.5-litre V8, the SP250 is here in a London police version, which owned about thirty models of that kind, all equipped with an automatic transmission.

Based on the chassis of the Triumph TR3, the SP250 is a small curiosity in the history of the English brand Daimler. Launched in 1959, the car was considerably improved (especially its stiffness) by Jaguar, which had just bought Daimler, as soon as 1960. Until production ceased in 1964, 2,645 units of the SP250, equipped with a 2.5-litre V8 and here dated 1962, were assembled.

Jaguar acquired this British car manufacturer in 1960. But in 1951, when this DB18 was launched, Daimler was still the royal family's preferred brand... before they changed for Rolls-Royce. Here we have the last 6-cylinder 2 ½ litres DB18, released in 1949 and whose origin dated back to 1939. Its bodywork was made by the English coachbuilder Hooper and was rather successful in India.
