DAIMLER MAJESTIC MAJOR

Saloon.

Once unkindly described as a '120mph funeral taxi', but look again - you've got 220bhp, automatic, power steering (optional to '64, standard thereafter) and the usual sure-footed handling; alloy-head ëhemií V8 is a delight. Once more they rust, but for anyone handy with sheet metal work, surely a bargain best buy. Announced at '59 show, but production only begins November '60.
