Goldie's Sister

[Rob Glasgow]

I came across a photo of this 1955 Daimler DK400 and thought how close it was to the Earls Court Austin Healey Goldie. The Daimler had zebra interior vs. Goldies sable (I think). The Daimler was also at the 1955 Earls Court.

I should have posted a photo of Goldie just in case a reader had not seen the car. Here it is.

The Daimler probably belonged to Lady Docker. She was notorious for flaunting her wealth in austere post war Britain.
Her husband was connected with Daimler.

Do I see Zebra striped seats?

Yes, the article said the car was designed by Lady Docker.

Well it might have been a very distant cousin to the Daimler--:lol:

Goldie - was that Liberace's Healey? layful:

 

[Rob Glasgow]

Liberace would have loved both cars, if he could add some more bling.

Yep
N the Brits were real unhappy with Docker's Daimler for quite some time.:highly_amused:
