Wider rear doors and extra legroom give more comfort for passengers in the rear.

DAIMLER LIMOUSINE £5,922
Diplomatic Daimlers seem to outnumber other top cars at many smart functions; evidence of the shrewdly drawn specification evolved by Sir William Lyons. It combines the power of the Jaguar overhead cam six-cylinder engine with the comfort and security of Jaguar all-independent suspension and the luxury of Vanden Plas craftsman-built coach work at an unbeatable price.
