About the Daimler DC 27 Ambulance

Despite the austerity of the times, Daimler celebrated the 1946 golden jubilee of the founding of the business was with a luncheon at the Savoy, at which they announced the pricing of the Daimler Eighteen and the Lanchester Ten. Production of large eight-seat limousines, the six-cylinder DE27 and the eight-cylinder DE36, began in March 1946. These were among the first series-built cars with electrically operated windows.They were also the first Daimler cars since 1909 to use bevel gear final drive instead of Daimler's usual worm final drive, and the DE36 was the last straight-eight automobile to be manufactured in Britain.The DE27 chassis was also used in the Daimler Ambulance with bodies by Barker and Hooper.
