Daimler Majestic Major de Neo Scale Models

Although today the Daimler name only see in certain models of Jaguar and the general public identifies more with the Mercedes, the fact is that the Daimler Motor Company was one of the pioneers automotive in Britain and was for many years, along with Rolls Royce and Bentley, one of the jewels of the British motor industry.

But the truth is that in 1958 the mark did not lift her head and her owners, the BSA motorcycle brand, set to work on a solution that will taken out of the doldrums. After several experiments, as the base using a Vauxhall, was born the Majestic Major, a sedan Large limousine based on the 104 with an attractive and elegant classical style body.

The first units were equipped with the classic six-cylinder engine Daimler undergone several changes, including increased displacement to 3.8 liters, a new aluminum camshaft and a revised intake, which gave it 147 hp and a top speed of 161 Km / H.

start in 1960 Daimler Majestic equip a new 4.5-liter V8 and 220 hp, which resulted in a substantial increase in acceleration and top speed. The new V8 Majestic dinstinguían anagrams for carrying on both sides of the front grille. They are also endowed steering and a longer wheelbase body, which was named DR 450.

The Majestic Major was sold until 1968 and was the last model made entirely by Daimler sold since its replacement, the DS 420, was built by Jaguar, Daimler owned since 1961.

remember since I started my collection I always wanted one of these Daimler Majestic and is that Daimler is one of the many brands ignored by most manufacturers of miniatures, especially with regard to their models of the time independent means and not those based on their Jaguar counterparts. In the hands of the Dutch manufacturer Neo Scale Models comes this Majestic Major, a new model so far. The body forms are correct. The detailed miniature is very good and is normal that we often offers Neo. The color combination is very elegant, appropriate and the most typical. This is a special limited edition of 300 copies for the store Modelcarworld. Neo offers another variation of color in black and dark gray interior and clear. One of the best features of the thumbnail is its rich interior decoration imitating wood to perfection.
