Super rare 1 in 259,715 on the road Built 1958-2000 Sold new in New Zealand
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
A large Daimler saloon built from 1958 to 1962, with a 3.8-litre six, an automatic gearbox in place of the old preselector, and disc brakes on all four wheels, which was unusual then. The V8 Majestic Major grew out of it. Decades later the name was reused on long-wheelbase versions of the Jaguar-based Daimlers.
