'593 UYS' is number 22 of only 47 Conquest Roadsters produced and was delivered new on 5th October 1954, so a rare car by any standard. The bodywork is finished in an attractive shade of Blue that's matched with a Blue hood and Blue leather interior trim. Being a pre-1956 model, its 2433cc straight-six powerplant drives through a fluid flywheel to Wilson four-speed pre-selector gearbox. The car benefits from having been resprayed in 2001 and a recent top-end engine overhaul (from which it is not yet run in). Since 2001, the two-seater has been owned by a respected and very well-known Conquest specialist and Daimler Club author and historian, who is now offering the car complete with full weather equipment comprising hood, side screens and tonneau. The total indicated mileage of this charming British classic is a credible if unwarranted 52,640.

Introduced in Spring 1953, the Daimler Conquest utilised a cruciform chassis suspended by double wishbones, laminated torsion bars and anti-roll bar at the front, and conventional leaf springs and live axle at the rear. Power came from a straight-six engine of 2433cc that in standard form produced some 75bhp and 124 lb ft of torque and the model could be had in Saloon, Roadster or Drophead Coupe guises.
