Daimler Majestic, Majestic Major

Daimler replaced the low production Regency/104 model with a standard saloon Daimler Majestic in 1958. Similar in appearance to the 104, the Majestic was wider and heavier and the six cylinder engine was enlarged to 3794cc to compensate. In 1959 Daimler showed the Majestic Major model which gained a longer boot and a 4561cc alloy V8 engine by Edward Turner, but the Major did not go into production until 1961. Production of the Majestic ended in 1962, and Majestic Major continued until 1968 and was then stopped by Jaguar.

Majestics with round vents are the V8 Majestic Major.	Daimler DR450 Limousine. The DR450 shared the 4561cc V8 with the Majestic Major and was only slightly slower. From the front both cars looked the same.	Daimler Majestic. Introduced in 1958 the Majestic was available with a 3794cc 6-cylinder engine. This Majestic has a plain front, lacking the round vents that both the outgoing Regency/104 and the Majestic Major were given.	Daimler Majestic. Barker designed a wider and more substantial body for the Majestic, although it looks like the Regency/104 body. The later Majestic Major pushed the boot further out beyond the taillights.
Daimler DR450 Limousine. The DR450 was an elongated Majestic Major intended to sell in selected numbers, but its 864 sales were only just below the Major sales of 1180	Daimler Majestic. The Majestic replaced the 104 series in 1958, and although looking similar it was a wider and more substantial car. The waistline on the Majestic is almost straight until it dips to the tail lights, whereas the Regency waistline dipped to trace the outline of the rear wheel arches.	Daimler Majestic Major. The Majestic was upgraded to the V8 Majestic Major in 1959, and gained a longer boot whilst retaining the same length rear wings!	Daimler DS420 Limousine
