Hello from hot Arizona. I joined hoping to find more Daimler Majestic Major owners in this group but from my initial search I couldn't find any. I own a 1968 DR450 limo, registration UGF172F. Mine is the 8th from the last true Daimler ever built. I also owned a 1963 DR450, registration BPR562B, but I pulled the big block hemi from that and sold the limo. The Turner Big block hemi (4.5L) was the claim to fame for these 120+ MPH funeral cars. The 4.5L was rated at 220HP for one simple reason, Daimler's dyno maximum rating was 220 hp. True HP is unknown although with the 3.77 LSD Salisbury it will not break tracking in this heavy limo. Gearbox is a BW DG-250. Other goodies are Twin HD8 SU carbs, dual exhaust, and 4 wheel disc brakes. My daughter helped me with cropping my engine photo. Doug
