The Daimler stands for Majestic Major, with the Turner 4.5 litre V8, whilst the New Yorker stands for Chrysler. I have always liked the styling of the Daimler with its smooth, yet characteristic lines that remind me of the Sunbeam Rapier (a much smaller car) , whilst the rear lenses treatment is quite similar to that of a 1960s Bentley Continental.
Can't say that much about the New Yorker - I have probably never seen one, but there is just so much to admire styling wise of the '50s and '60s American cars. The dash instruments are just poles apart from one to the other, with the Daimler probably sporting the equivalent of half an acre of interior timber. I'll let you guys read the rest - just one little surprise. 270 bhp. from 4.5 litres back in the sixties ? I have serious reservations. Regards Styria
