The Conquest Century was the quicker version of Daimler's Conquest saloon, launched in 1954. The name came from its 100 horsepower, up from 75, thanks to twin carburettors and a reworked cylinder head on the 2.4-litre six. It kept Daimler's fluid flywheel and preselector gearbox, and was quick enough to be raced in British saloon car events.
