Kill Bill Vol. 03
Author: Zoran Mitrović
Magazine: Jaguar Tribune
Magazine of the Jaguar Drivers' Club, Switzerland
Date of publication: No. 120-1/2011
Language: German
Zoran Mitrović from Bern in Switzerland chose the form of a classic Greek tragedy to describe how the purchase of his DS420 unfolded. The story even mentions the purchase of a first DS420, the restoration of which turned out to be unfeasible. And until the car was in the safe hands of the final restorers, a tragedy it was indeed!
The cast: Zoranus (himself, Switzerland), Billes (initial restorer, failed, from Brighton), Karlus (the seller), Markus (the final restorer, from Singidunum/Belgrade in Serbia).
Mr. Mitrović provided thousands (!) of photos of the restoration of this car, which are shown in three photo galleries on this website.
The British publisher GE Fabbri devoted issue No. 49 of its popular fortnightly "James Bond Car Collection" magazine to the Daimler DS420 as a James Bond movie car. The magazine came with a diecast 1:43 scale model made by Universal Hobbies in China. The French edition appeared in November 2008, although the magazine itself has no date. The German edition was published in November 2009, and the Dutch version early February 2010. The UK edition of this issue appeared in November 2008, one or two weeks before the French version.
I have heard of a version in Finnish language, and one for the Brasil market (which I assume will be in Portuguese), but I have not been able to obtain copies of these, nor do I know their publication schedule.
The magazine has 16 pages of which 8 have DS420 coverage, mainly photographic.
Several parts of the text seem to have been taken from an older version
of the Wikipedia entry on the DS420, including several inaccuracies
that were present there (and have been corrected since).

The March 2011 edition of the Dutch language magazine Great British Cars devoted two different articles to the DS420: one about Ben Kolvenbach's limo (now registered 30-YB-93), and one about the hearse in use by funeral company Kramer (registered DM-38-58) Both are within a few dozen miles of my home town. I have had the occasion to drive both cars myself! | ||||
