Vanden Plas Straight 8
Daimler 15 Cabriolet
It was developed and first came on the market in October 1932 due the high demand for a high class car which could be run economically. The first model was powered by an 1805cc six cylinder overhead valve engine combined then with the all new fluid flywheel transmission. In 1934 an enlarged 2003cc with improved chassis and steering was introduced, which gave the car a top speed of 70mph and fuel consumption of 24-25 mpg. Again in 1937 it was revised with an enlarged engine of 2166cc and yet again in 1938 with a 2522cc engine
