1958 Daimler Majestic

Key Features

  • Recently taken out of dry storage
  • Includes a number of spare parts
  • Interesting restoration project

The most

After suffering for several years due to lack of investment for several years, Daimler was finally given the go-ahead (and necessary cash) to develop a new model by the mid-1950s and they called it the 104. Outwardly, it looked similar to its predecessor, but underneath the mechanicals and chassis were significantly revised. The 104 would prove to be a very capable car, later morphing into the Majestic in 1958. With its classic styling and spacious interior lined with leather and wood, it was a car for those who liked to put in the miles in comfortable surroundings.
Clearly, this late example is a restoration project, but one that looks solid thanks to careful storage. A few spare parts are included.
These cars transport their occupants into a certain post-war atmosphere. Here's your chance to bring one back to life and enjoy its many qualities.

BEFORE PURCHASING
This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer you also agree to the following:

✓ We require a non-refundable fee to be paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.
