Renowned for its large, luxury motorcars, Daimler had to cut its cloth to suit the times, and its answer to the Great Depression was the Fifteen. Launched in 1932, it was the first Daimler priced at less than £500 since the Great War and its name was derived from its tax rating of 15hp. Initially of 1805 cc, its six-cylinder OHV engine drove through the company's proven fluid flywheel transmission with Wilson pre-selective gearchange. By 1934, the engine capacity had been increased to 2003cc, as per the sale car. A well maintained example finished in two-tone Grey and trimmed in Red leather, 'BPC 593' was restored in 2003 and last year treated to a top end engine overhaul. The vendor regards the bodywork, paintwork, interior trim, engine and transmission as all being in 'excellent' condition, and is offering the Daimler complete with original parts catalogue, instruction manuals and green logbook, plus an MOT into February 2019.
