This page shows sales brochures from 1978 and 1979 by Jaguar/Daimler from my own collection. The brochures are in chronological order, although not all publication dates are known exactly. I have left out brochures where the limo plays a minor role only, e.g. with one single picture somewhere at the bottom of a page...
The brochures are presented with a medium size picture of their front page, plus small pictures of the other pages. Blank pages are not shown.

This brochure has many fold-out pages; there are no page numbers. Therefore we use the following numbering scheme: pages which are seen when the brochure is gone through like a book, get incrementing page numbers. When such a page is folded out, the (double) page that becomes visible has the same number, but with an 'a' attached. E.g.: p12a becomes visible when p12 is folded out.
The brochure has many pages explicitly devoted to the Daimler VandenPlas 4.2 (p4, 5, 5a, 6, 7, 7a) and the Daimler Double Six VandenPlas (p8, 9, 9a, 10, 10a). Those pages are not shown to save space. The full brochure can be seen here
This is the first brochure to show the rubber block bumpers. Also, the large pictures show front wing mirrors, but one of the smaller pictures, and its corresponding text, introduces the door mirrors.
An amusing mistake has been made on page 14.
The text says under point 6: "An electric clock is fitted in the front
compartment". This is certainly true: there is a nice (round) clock
in the dashboard. But picture number 6 shows a rectangular clock:
it is the one that is mounted in the cocktail cabinet in the rear
compartment.
The same mistake carries on for several brochures to come!
You may also notice that the two-tone blue limo on page 2a
has the same license number (LOE753S) as the black limo on page 12a.
License year letter S is for 1978.
Daimler published another brochure with the same silk-pattern on the cover, but coloured blue instead of purple. That brochure has no coverage of the limo at all.

This brochure is about the Daimler Double Six VandenPlas, Double Six
and Sovereign 4.2. It does not have a single word on the DS420.
Also, all pictures are about the other Daimler models,
except the two-page illustration shown above.
This brochure was published in several different languages, under the same publication number.

which marked the transfer of the production from Vanden Plas in London
to Browns Lane in Coventry.

Pages explicitly devoted to other Daimler
models are not shown to save space.
