1925-1926

Daimler had 7 basic models and BSA 6. 1925 saw the introduction of long stroke engines with dual ignition and pressure lubrication of the camshaft. The same year saw the death of the company's founder Harry Lawson. In 1926, AEC and Daimler set up a new venture called Associated Daimler Company to build commercial chassis with a choice of Daimler sleeve valve or AEC poppet valve engines. The association was not a very happy one, so in 1926 they agreed to separate with Daimler retaining the ADC name.
