Then since reg LL422 in 1947, it was sold to the public and 1987 reallocated a 1939 number plate ESU148 by the DVLA following the Daimler owners club research with the British Science Museum. The Churchill suggestion was made because he was made First Lord of the Admiralty again in 1939, when this car had just been delivered to them.

Rob, thanks for the information. That Daimler may have gone to the Admiralty but I don’t know if WSC ever used it. I found no record of him using anything but government pool Humbers once the war started. He certainly didn’t own another Daimler after the ’32 Model 35 (GW 7470) which he sold when the war started. A ’32 purporting to be the same car has been restored. -RML

I am currently researching a Daimler Limousine with reg ESU 148. A 1939 car bought from Churchills estate. I wondered if you knew of this one?

WSC owned only one Daimler, which has been restored, and it is early 30s not a 39.-RML
