[3] The model was introduced immediately before the Second World War, during which the company concentrated on the manufacture of military vehicles.

The car used a 2,522 cc in-line six-cylinder, pushrod OHV engine fed by a single SU carburetter.

The independent front suspension used coil springs, while the back axle was suspended using a traditional semi-elliptical set-up.

[6] Although offered originally as a chassis only model, post-war the most common version was a four-door saloon which Daimler themselves produced.

The interior was fitted out with traditional "good taste" using mat leather and polished wood fillets.
