Looks like the Germans have Churchills prewar car...
ZitatUnique opportunity for collectors Ex SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL
Daimler DB 18 Drophead Coupe with chassis number # 49531 is the last known vehicle (ex. Sir Winston Churchill l) and was regardless of the cost, for well over 200.000, - € extensively restored.
Single piece body with sporty Charlton. The vehicle remained at first etc. are provided as a demonstration plant in possession and during this time for parades. Used as Winston Churchill from 1944 to 1949, the vehicle for his election campaigns. The car was completely restored without regard to cost over several years.
This Daimler DB 18 Drophead Coupe is out of the body wrought Carlton Carriage Co. Only 8 of the 23 planned Daimler DB18 were completed from 1939. In the tradition of the four vehicles were destroyed directly in the Blitzkrieg. Another was irreparably damaged. Two presumed lost.
This vehicle, chassis number 49531, is the last known specimen.
Daimler reached a maximum speed of 120 km / h, acceleration from 0 to 80 km / h 17.9 sec Noteworthy is the drive. Although the DB 18, technically, a manual transmission works, actually a 4-speed Wilson Vorwählgetriebe used in conjunction with a Daimler fluid coupling. It allows the driver to select the next possible transition before the shift operation causes the "change pedal". So there was a kind of automatic switching. Daimler DB18 has a documented, extremely rich history with owners from the USA, Germany and even an Iranian prince. The black and silver chassis houses a very luxurious decor with wooden dash board with Jaeger instruments and green leather seats. In the rear, a continuous bench seat and rear seats arranged longitudinally.
This Daimler should be auctioned at the British auction house Historics of Brooklands. Unfortunately, the previous owner is deceased. Experts at that time expected a purchase price equivalent to 400,000 euros. Today, the figure is likely to be much higher. Everything can be looked up on the internet. Now we make an attempt on ebay.de and hope he comes good in collector hands. After the restoration, the car was not driven. The condition is accordingly perfectly.
Vehicle is being sold on behalf of customers without warranty and guarantee. Typing errors, changes and prior sale.
