Daimler/Lanchester beauty prizes

This year’s Daimler and Lanchester OC Concours d’Elegance was won by a non-vintage car, A. King’s 1952 Barker-bodied Daimler Special Sports, bought from its original owner in 1969. The runners-up were an unusual 1963 Daimler Majestic Major chassis endowed with a 1958 Hooper Daimler 104 body by Daimler’s Willesden Service Depot and now owned by A. Norman, and G. N. Bromfield’s 1932 16/20 sleeve-valve Daimler saloon. The 1970 winner, Mrs. Sawyers’ 1934 Lanchester Ten, sportingly stood down to give others a chance.
