Daimler Regency, One-O-Four
The Daimler Regency series evolved out of the Daimler Consort (itself a development from the 'Light Fifteen' and into the DB18 with a standard steel body). Launched in 1951 with a 2952cc version of the DB18 2½litre 6-cylinder engine, this was enlarged to 3468cc in 1952. Regency cars had a standard Barker-designed 6-light body, but other coachwork was available. In 1952 Hooper offered the Empress II bodywork which was a revised version of the DB18 Empress body. In 1954 the Regency II range featured a 3468cc engine and an optional 4617cc engine, the standard 6-light saloon gaining weight and a longer boot. The Regency models were revised as the 'One-O-Four' models in 1955 and a 4-light Sportsman saloon was offered by HJ Mulliner. The One-O-Four, supposedly good for 104mph, was replaced by the similar looking Daimler Majestic in 1959.
