It was mentioned by Dushyant in his post.

Hi Dushyant,
I think the Daimler may be a post war DB 18 because it has the larger rear window and no running boards.

Bangalore seems to have a lot of Daimlers. The Maharaja had many, now many are with collectors. Here are two more which were on the net recently show casing a collection. The text was on that site, I have slightly edited it.

Car: Daimler Maharajah
Year: 1947
Owner: Original owner was the Maharajah of Mysore. Subsequently acquired by Sulaiman’s brother in law
Story: Sulaiman’s jewel in the crown, the Maharajah's Daimler is an impressive looking car and is worthy of a king. There were very few were these made and were manufactured exclusively for the Maharaja. There is a glass divider between driver and the passengers. “The Daimler Maharajah is my most valued car, although it is difficult to drive in traffic, it’s worth the effort.”


Car: Daimler DB18
Year: 1947
Owner: L Devraj from Coimbatore, who bought it from Meenakshi Mills.
Story: The Daimler DB18 Saloon was produced from 1947 through 1953 with a total of 608 being manufactured. Devraj, Sulaiman’s friend from Coimbatore, had many cars. Knowing his friend’s love for vintage cars he decided to give this away.

Note the trailer for the car to carry luggage. Wonder if those are spare wheels in the trailer

Lovely, thanks for sharing.

The gold car I guess is the Hukumchand car which is still supposed to be around, albeit in a state of neglect.

Here is an interesting one on the Rewa Daimler courtesy of deansgarage and The Automobile.

You will surely notice below that the "Elephant" on the dash board is currently out on a walk with the Maharaja.

I chanced upon some old pictures. I remember seeing this Daimler Conquest in 2004 at Chennai. This car was in a workshop and I was given to understand that it was for sale. Wonder what happened to this car

Forgive me for intruding on a Daimler thread, but does anyone recall a Lanchester with one Major B A S Chopra? It was a saloon, apparently stolen.

Wonderful anecdote and great research Karl!!

I do not think any of our members would recall the case.
