Has to be one like that, where the indicators fly out from the door pillars on little arms

Weren't the Daimlers straight 6 too?

Apart from one or two just before the amalgamation with Jaguar...

Ah. There was the V8 2.5l version of the MkII Jag.

A schoolmates dad had one of those and it was very nice too.. The dad must have been fairly rich as he (the schoolmate) was insured to drive it.

My favourite car as a lad was always my Dads..........

(Several) Humber SuperSnipes - Big old V8, Leather Seats, Walnut Burr Tables....
then he got
(A couple of) Daimler Soveriegns - Big old V8, Leather seats......
then
(only the one) Jenson Interceptor - you guessed it Big old V8, Leather seats. 2+2, Huge galss fishbowl back window.....

Not quite in the same league but my Dad once had a Wolseley. Leather sets, walnut dash, door trims and seat back tables. It smelled lovely.

I remember the Panther 6! Rumour has it they actually made one!

The Daimler in the Mk2 looky-likey shell was a 2.5 V8. The other 60s Daimler V8 was the Majestic Major with a 4.5. After that Daimlers simply became retrimmed Jaguars and shared the same powertrain.
