About this car

The Majestic Major paired Daimler's compact, high-revving 4.6-litre V8 with a large saloon body, making it one of the quicker luxury cars of its day. It was never built in big numbers, and this 1968 example is a reminder of how unusual it was even in period.

The car is finished in Connaught green, with paint and chrome both described as generally in good order. The interior is said to be in very nice original condition, apart from some cracking to the driver's seat.

It has had a variety of repairs and restoration work carried out a few years ago, and the V8 is reported to run well. Mileage, ownership history and registration are not given.
