The Daimler Conquest was introduced in 1953 as a successor to the Daimler Consort. Positioned as a high-end touring car, the Conquest featured a robust chassis and a 2.4-liter inline-six engine, providing ample power for its time. Its elegant design, characterized by sweeping lines and chrome accents, appealed to discerning buyers seeking both performance and luxury. The Conquest was available in various body styles, including saloon, drophead coupe, and roadster, catering to a diverse range of preferences.
In October 1955, the Mark II models were announced for the Earls Court Motor Show, available as before in Conquest (75 bhp) and Conquest Century (100 bhp) form. However, the Daimler Conquest Century was now called the Daimler Century in marketing literature. The built-in fog lamps were now replaced by independent valance-mounted fog and driving lamps and their former location became ducts for the heater and air vent.
UXG was one of the last built with a pre-selective gearbox and has was owned by Ian Philip in 2005, when the mileage was 88,919 miles and bought by our vendor in 2008. Little used during his tenure, today the mileage is 88,985 miles.
