Description of Contents. King Edward VII (when Prince of Wales) asserted: “I shall make the motor car a necessity for every English gentleman.” Whilst Queen Victoria was still on the throne, the future King sampled the ‘horseless carriage’ and in the face of social prejudice he set the future fashion by acquiring in 1900 his first Daimler car. From that time Daimler became ‘The Royal Car’. At Coronations, the Silver Jubilee, State visits and on innumerable other royal occasions as well as in the day to day routine of the Sovereign and the royal household, magnificent Daimlers have played a prominent and indispensable role. This book is a unique and comprehensive history of the British Royal Daimlers, covering more than 80 years – from the dawn of the motoring era to the time of publication. ‘Royal Daimlers’ will appeal to the automobile historian and the enthusiast alike, but it is not simply another book on cars; it is very substantially more. Extensive use of Royal Archival material lends authenticity, portrays the particular motoring whims and fancies of British Sovereigns through successive reigns and provides valuable and fascinating insights into the conventions and other aspects of Royal motoring.
