Recent additions / change log of this web site

• January 2018
  • A number of press photos could be added to the collection. Three photos show the "most lavishly" equipped car UAC51R. These were added to the press photos page next to the photos already present from this car. Another one shows the cocktail cabinet which was part of its interior. This photo was added to the two other photos of the same cabinet, again on the press photos page just above the photos of the car itself.
  • Three other press photos are from the 1973 landaulette car built for the Governor General of Jamaica. Two of these photos were already shown on this site, but were contributed from another collection. A really new one shows the interior of the car, with hood open. This was added next to a similar photo with hood down.
  • I came across an article published in Jaguar World in August 2012. I added it to the page with English language Magazine articles.
  • The Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club published an article with many interesting photos in their Jaguar Enthusiast magazine of March 2017. I added it to the page with English language Magazine articles.
  • The club magazine of the Jaguar Daimler Club Holland (May/June 2017) published a long article on the DS420, and I cooperated with one of my limos. The article was added to the page with Magazine articles (non English). On the last page: me behind the wheel.
  • A photo was added to the page with contemporary photographs. It was probably taken at the occasion of the visit of the King of Denmark to London in 1968.
  • I found three photos taken at two different motorshows around 1973/1974. Since they are not "official" factory photos I added them to the page with contemporary photographs, just below the photo mentioned in the previous point.
  • Oxford Diecast produces a large variety of DS420 scale models, in different sizes. For the "the Dungeons" attraction of Merlin Entertainments a pimped DS420 hearse model in 1:76 scale was produced. A picture was added to the page of DS420 scale models.
  • A large "interior samples" book came up on eBay. I was not able to buy it, but I have added the eBay photos to the Colours and Trim page.
  • Several owners made significant modifications to their DS420. This way I was able to add many pictures to the converted cars page.
• February 2017
  • An early photo, showing car MDU808F around 1968/1969 was added to the page with contemporary photographs.
  • A Daimler Hire tariff list dating from 1971 came up for sale; I added it next to the 1970 tariff list already in my collection, on the page with various sales illustrations.
  • I contributed to a DS420 buying guide article in the Classic Car Weekly of Sept. 7, 2016. The article was added to the page with English language Magazine articles.
  • The Jaguar Drivers Association published a very well researched two-part article in their Jaguar Driver magazine. I added it to the page with English language Magazine articles.
