The Daimler Motor Company was formed in 1896 and was the first motor car company to make cars in Britain. Daimler soon became the best vehicle to buy and was the car of choice for Royalty in this country and soon throughout the world. Both these cars are powered by highly refined six cylinder engines which are noted for smooth running and reliable operation. For cars designed in the early 1930's a ride in one of these cars soon justifies the Daimler motto: 'Smooth as Flight'.

The rear compartments of these two cars are spacious and with the flat floor and generous leg room, it is very easy to gain access with any style of wedding dress. Tables drop down from the back of the front seats on the convertible so that Champagne can be enjoyed during the journey to the reception.

Convertible - 1939 Daimler Tickford Cabriolet, has always been a Nottinghamshire car and is only one of six with the coachwork by Salmons of Newport Pagnell. As with all vintage Daimlers, it is a very quiet and smooth running vehicle and would have been regarded as a high performance car in its day - top speed is 76 mph. A Wilson pre-selector gearbox coupled to a Fluid-flywheel is fitted, which is the forerunner of present day automatics. This made the car much easier to drive then any other model available at the time and allowed owners to drive themselves and therefore be not always dependent on a chauffeur.



Saloon - 1934 Daimler 15 Six Light Saloon, was supplied originally to Sir Thomas Innes of Learney in Scotland. It has a fascinating history and was once owned by the proprietor of the Spectator magazine - Algy Cluff who made it a prize for a competition in 1983 it was presented to the winner at the Savoy in London. The coachwork is by H J Mulliner of Birmingham. It is also fitted with the Daimler Fluid-Flywheel Transmission which as Daimler says - 'Driving is endowed with a new zest which is not marred by any mechanical complication or noise'.
