    Had a Series 3 HE version of this in the late 80's, lovely car - even with horrific fuel consumption - but always a work in progress which is what made me change.

    There are those that say that after some 30 years since production stopped , that this car has actualy been surpassed and improved on . They are wrong . Yes other makes of car may handle better , may be more fuel efficient , may have more gizmo's but for sheer class oozing from every juncture and the fact that this car is inaudible , something not even Jaguar have managed to improve upon let alone the likes of Mercedes or that upstart BMW . My car is a last of the line 1992 japanese imported Daimler series 3 double six It is motoring magnificence personified . I drive it gently to the speed limits , dont thrash it , nor explore its handling . I just drive it and take it from me , you cant get a better car . Dont believe me ? Ask Derek Mathewson .

      These old dutchess I have an unheathly obsession with them. I am the custodian of 2 of them. One was my mums, she loved evry second driving it, the other I bought as a non runner, but the monoque is extremely good. It doesn't realy matter to me that neither of them run, I get enjoyment just looking at them through the window. They're works of art.

    1:45 these black JVC speakers are the "cherries on top" of that £56k upgrade. =]
    6:37 the steering wheel requires an upgrade to a bright wooden one... just my little thoughts. =)

    The red piping on the door pillers and center consol makes it look tacky cheap .

      I wouldn’t put it that strongly, but I agree, although it’s nicely done it takes away from the otherwise tasteful interior
