One learns new things every day. I saw your photo of the Daimler, and thought to myself, "British?" Yep. Although the cars that roll off the assembly line near Stuttgart, Germany are often known as "Daimler-Benz" or "Mercedes-Benz," Daimler was the forerunner of the British Jaguar, out of Coventry. The source of this information comes straight from Mercedes!

Thanks for your comments Fred. Yes the "British" Daimler is a bit confusing. For many years Jaguars and Daimlers shared the same platform and bodywork with some internal and external cosmetic variations and some different engine options.

Thank you for your positive comments Charley. I had a chuckle at your "nostalgia hero" but seriously, nostalgia is one of the reasons I enjoy photography.

Great set! I’ll take the Morgan please. Amazing how much the Daimler looks like a Jaguar MK II from that angle. Having read the comment above about Daimler (which I didn’t know), I see why.
Thank you for your positive feedback TriX. I also like the Morgan and I wouldn't say no to the Daimler either.

Thanks for your comments Don. I saw the Rolls Royce pull up when my wife and I had stopped for a coffee in a country town in Victoria in 2009. I chatted to the owner for a while and he was quite happy for me to snap away.
