Talk:Daimler DS420

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are many small inaccuracies in this article.

The Regent Hotel in Hong Kong does not exist as such anymore, and they certainly do not have 22 limousines at this moment. They bought 22 limousines in total, but I doubt that they had them all together at one moment in time. Compare this to the Queen Mother: she bought five DS420s in total, but consecutively between 1970 and 1992. She never had more than one at the same time (as far as I know).

The 1984 Office Car was definitely not built for John Egan. It was an experiment that was part of the plans to enter the US market, and has only been used for promotional purposes. It did not have a fax (I remember that I had to buy a fax for my employer in 1983/1984 and it costed the equivalent of 25.000+ dollars. A fax was much rarer than a computer in those days!).

The fascia definitely resembles the ones in the Mark X and 420G very much.

The article states: "4116 were produced". According to the JDHT records, 4141 limos and 903 hearses were produced.
