Commentaires du vendeur sur 1947' Daimler DB18
Daimler DB18 1947 “Royalty Owned, Yugoslavian Queen” One of three owners.
Second owner for 30 plus years, storing the car in an out-building but one that was owned and registered from new to “Her Majesty Marie of Yugoslavia” KKJ 333 was registered to her on the 13th of October 1947, she kept it right through to when she died in June 1961.
In October of that year ownership transferred to her son “His Royal Highness Prince Andrew of Yugoslavia”, then on the same day (02/10/1961) it was given to and ownership transferred to what is thought to of been her Equerry “Colonel M. Prosen OBE”. According to various sources, below are the various titles she was known as.
She adopted “Marie” which was her mother’s name rather than Maria, when she moved to England on the 6 January 1900 – 8 June 1922: Her Royal Highness Princess Maria of Romania, Princess of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen 8 June 1922 – 6 January 1929: Her Majesty The Queen of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes 6 January 1929 – 9 October 1934: Her Majesty The Queen of Yugoslavia 9 October 1934 – 29 November 1945: Her Majesty Queen Maria of Yugoslavia, The Queen Mother 29 November 1945 – 22 June 1961 in pretense: Her Majesty Queen Maria of Yugoslavia.
The second owner of the car last used it in 2009 when he also MOT’d it. Since then it has sat on blocks in his dry garage and has survived miraculously well.
The current owner from 2017, has recommissioned this rare & original DB 18 Daimler. Note this is not a concourse car but a time capsule and extremely original . Body work is in its original black finish and very solid with on the button engine start.
2.5 Litre straight 6 engine, runs very well and the gear selection and re corded radiator.
This really is a bit of Royal History, rare to the point that it is thought to be the only one registered to a Yugoslavian Queen and rare to of survived so well. ?
