Roland’s Daimler began life in Tunbridge Wells on London Road—right where Dylan Miles is based today. She was first registered on 1 August 1934 by G. Stevenson’s Garage and delivered to her original owner, Mr G. D. Morton.
Today, nearly a century later, he still drives her to shows all around Cheshire. With her 2.7-litre straight-six 20hp engine and pre-select gearbox she has an elegance and smoothness that modern cars rarely match.
Key 1934 Daimler Developments:
Daimler Fifteen (August 1934): The 6-cylinder model, launched to target a lower price point during the Depression, saw its engine size increased from 1,805 cc to 2,003 cc.
“25” Model: Introduced earlier in 1934, the new Straight-Eight “Twenty-Five” was positioned as a luxurious, smooth, and quiet car.
Sleeve-Valve Shift: The company was transitioning away from its traditional large sleeve-valve engines, with the new Straight-Eight replacing older models.
And a few fun facts from the year 1934 :
Pint of mild: Half a penny (back when there were 240 pennies to the pound!)
Terrace house in Manchester: £60
Terrace house in Tunbridge Wells £120
80-acre farm with a 3-bedroom house in Somerset: £3,000
Average annual wage: £114
UK total wage bill: £19 million
