STORY
The Daimler DS420 Vanden Plas represents royal elegance and exclusivity like no other vehicle. Between 1968 and 1992, this iconic car was manufactured exclusively to order, primarily for royal families, heads of government and influential industrialists. The DS420 was the first choice for representative occasions and state visits, especially in the Commonwealth countries.
With its majestic length of 5.8 metres and luxurious features - including space for up to seven passengers, electric partitions and the finest interior materials - the DS420 offered supreme comfort and unrivalled style. Under the hood, Jaguar's proven 4.2-litre inline six-cylinder engine provides smooth and reliable performance that perfectly matches the car's character.
The Daimler DS420 is still in service with the British Crown and is used for ceremonial occasions and special events. This model is not only a symbol of timeless nobility, but also a fascinating example of British automotive art, which remains unmatched in its elegance and significance to this day.
