A unique Daimler Dauphin one-off British saloon from the post-War era.
The Daimler Dauphin 2-door Saloon is one of the famous Lady Docker-inspired Show Cars and is understood to have been exhibited at the 1953 Motor Show under the Lanchester brand. Lady Docker – a former showgirl – was married to Sir Bernard Docker, the chairman of Daimler, who she persuaded to produce extravagant Motor Show cars, which made quite a statement in a post-War austerity-stricken Britain. The Dauphin was later purchased by Daimler’s General Manager and was converted into a one-of-a-kind Daimler Dauphin for the 1954 season.
