The DS420 was Daimler's flagship limousine. Altering little in
appearance over the thirty plus years of its production run, even the
later models boast the quality of interior fittings that hark back to a
more elegant age. The DS420 was, for many years, the preferred
transport of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and she knew a thing or
two about style.
With the occasional seats folded away (as seen
above) there is a huge amount of room in the back. With those seats in
use, it becomes a very practical and elegant way of transport up to
seven passengers.
If you want to feel like royalty on the road, then this is pretty hard to beat.
