Description: My aim through starting this Club in 1989 was to bring together owners of the marque From 1945 to 1975 particularly the DB18, CONSORT / EMPRESS, DC/DE/DH/27-36, DF"104", SPORTSMAN, REGENCY 2, EMPRESS 2A /3.DK400 Limousines, MAJESTICS 3.8, MAJESTIC MAJORS 4.6 V8, DR450 Limousine,      DJ, CONQUEST / CENTURY range,and includes the LJ200 Lanchester 14 Leda, also now welcome is the SP 250 DART and the 250 V8 SALOON also The DS420 which was the last DAIMLER LIMOUSINE which was built by Jaguar. We try to provide as much support as possible for these fine cars. The club caters for Daimler cars from 1947 - 1975. We also have members with pre-war cars, these include: EL 24, Light 15 and 1931 16/20 Q, DB18, DE 27/ 36, all of these are also very welcome, you don't even have to own a Daimler or Lanchester to be a member your support is most welcome Many owners have found it an uphill struggle to keep the cars on the road and sadly this has led to many of them being laid up or scrapped, only for the want of a little tender loving care or a few quite simple part replacements. The print media has been of no help simply by getting their information from the unenlightened, this has the effect of putting prospective owners off since they believe they are being given correct advice. The tendency for garages to hold their hands up in horror and tell you they cannot get the parts and that hasn't helped their survival. My purpose is to stop all that nonsense and to help you - the DAIMLER or LANCHESTER owner keep your pride and joy on the road for many years to come. The Club spare parts department can help you with a wide range of new, used and re-manufactured parts, we have also purchased several job lots from the D.L.O.C stores when it closed down in 1998. When it comes to advice or technical knowledge, I have gained a lot over the years from close contact with these neglected models. Technical Knowledge comes in handy when I have to know which replacement can be used for an obsolete part for example. All this involves considerable research and a lot of time spent phoning contacts and going to autojumbles, arranging purchases or simply digging around old parts stores. All this can only be continued with the support of the Members. I put time and work into the club all voluntarily. All monies made from the sale of parts from the club are ploughed back into the club. The Parts Stores has grown a lot over the last 18 year and now nearly Covers 9.500 sq feet of dry storage,(August 2006)
