Daimler Conquest
The Daimler Conquest was the first modern post war Daimler design and appeared in 1953 as a successor to the Consort, which, although only launched in 1949 looked every inch like a pre-war car. The Conquest had in an-line six cylinder engine of 2433 cc, which had either 75 or 101 bhp. The 100 BHP version became actually available in 1954 and the model fitted with that engine were named Conquest Century. There was a four dour drop head version, but shown here is a very rare 2-door DB250, built in 1953. It was participating in the Concours d’Elegance at Schwetzingen in 2003.
Production lasted until 1957 and in total 9620 Conquests were produced
