for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

Here's a very rare 1963 Daimler Majestic Major Limousine. I have owned this car for many years. I always dreamed of restoring it but due to a career change - I just don't have the time needed.
Throughout the years - Daimler Limousines has been used extensively by the British Royal Family (however I need to point out - I don't know the history of this particular car)
This car ran and drove before I put it in storage with was about 20 years ago.
This car is quite complete but needs FULL restoration. The exterior mirrors, the trunk key bezel, a couple of the tail light lens, as well as few minor exterior trim pieces are missing or damaged. The frame seems to be very solid but the truck floor is rusted through. The body is quite straight but there are few minor dents and dings. There is also some signs of some prior body work on the car. Most of the stainless is good. The windows (including the driver privacy glass) are all good. It has AC (not sure if it works). All the upholstery and wood work needs restoration The engine bay seems is in good condition. Comes with the original sales packet, service binder, and promotion literature.
Here is some helpful info on the Daimler DR450
