High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Daimler Majestic Major was a large executive saloon made by Daimler in Coventry between 1959 and 1968, using a 4,561 cc V8 engine. A limousine version known as the Daimler DR450 was available from 1961 until the V8 engine ended production. In October 1959 the Daimler Majestic Major was announced at the London Motor Show. However the car on the show stand was a prototype and production did not get under way for a couple of years. The car was offered alongside the slightly smaller 3.8 litre Majestic which had been released in 1958. The new engine was lighter and much more powerful. The vehicle was transformed into a high performance executive car capable of 120 mph (190 km/h). It is faster than a MkX Jaguar up to 80 mph (130 km/h) despite its 1880 kg bulk and it has been said that Jaguar tried a Daimler 4.5 motor in a MkX and it did 130 mph (210 km/h). Externally the only real clues to what lurked under the bonnet of the Majestic Major were the "V8" symbols cast into the front horn grilles.
