[6] When production resumed in 1946 it was given a revised cylinder head, given chrome channel frames for the side windows, stripped of its running-boards, and renamed Daimler Eighteen.

1937 saw the opening, in September, of what was intended to be the world's largest exhibition hall at Earls Court on the western edge of central London.

[3] The Fifteen was announced with the 2,166 cc ohv straight-six engine introduced by Daimler in August 1936 for the previous body shape following reduction of the rate of annual tax.

The major feature of the New Fifteen was the much further forward placement of the engine and more comfortable between axles placement for passengers allowed by the fitting of “independent front wheel springing” [3] developed from an André-Girling design in the form of unequal-length parallel arms located with radius arms and using coil springs.

[1] The final drive used an underhung worm reduction gear slung below the differential leaving little ground clearance (described by road testers as "nearly six inches") but permitting a flat floor to the rear passenger compartment.

Road testers commented that the new suspension provided good stability and "avoided tiresome pitch and toss".

Wireless set, four ashtrays, zip pockets below the slip pockets on the forward doors, tables and footrests in the backs of the big adjustable front seats, Thermos flasks in front of the rear arm-rests, a cigarette-box in the folding centre arm-rest, a fire extinguisher, fog and pass lights, a boot and door lined with rubber, a master switch by the driver's seat, a lamp under the bonnet, and a provision for a heater and demister.

There are electric lights in the quarters with two switches, louvres over the four-door windows, twin wind-tone horns, a lockable cupboard, two wipers, winding screen, and sliding roof.
