Though often ironically described as a 120mph hearse, the Daimler Majestic Major had some interesting features, starting with the generously sized 4561cc V8 engine capable of 220 horsepower, supple and pleasant. Announced in 1959, it was produced from the following year until 1968 in about 1180 examples. The lines resumed those of the 1958 3.8-liter Majestic.
