• Understood to have been used by the Governor of Barbados
• Believed to have been used by Her Majesty The Queen in Barbados, for her 1977 Silver Jubilee Tour
• Accompanied with NOVA registration

An imposing-looking executive limousine, Daimler's DS420 served as an official state car in many countries - not least for the House of Windsor. It also found favour with numerous embassies, local authorities, funeral parlours and up-market hotels (for example, the Inter-Continental in Hong Kong alone is said to have purchased 22 DS420s over the years). It was based on a lengthened version of the Jaguar 420G platform.

Understood to have been used by the Governor of Barbados, actually on the island in Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, it is believed that this example was used by Her Majesty The Queen in 1977 for her Silver Jubilee tour visit to the island. Accompanied with NOVA registration, the DS420 had been in Florida prior to the UK. A previous owner was a DS420 enthusiast and owners club member that had 5 other show winning DS420s. It was this owner that retro-fitted a c.50k mile Jaguar XJS 4.0 litre, 6-cylinder fuel-injected engine, auto column-shift transmission, plus rack and pinion steering. Some 15 years ago, the DS420 benefited from a Grey leather interior with Blue piping. Fitted with dual air conditioning for comfort, this example is ideal for the UK, as it is a right-hand drive despite having been overseas.
