I found this Daimler yesterday at The Empress in Victoria. I believe it's a Daimler Limousine DS420.

Any idea on a year?

It's most likely a post-1979 car due to the black rubber bumpers.

Shoutout to the Facebook group Shit Parkers of Victoria. I live in Halifax, but still read it. Pretty great.

In trivia news, the 420 was the last car to use Jag's 4.2 six as found in the E Type and used to be the favoured mode of transport for amongst others the mayors of British towns.

The Queen Mother liked them too. About four years after regular production ended, Jaguar built 3 new ones for her and her daughter.

A beautiful car in a beautiful city. Haven't been to Victoria in like 15 years, but another visit is way overdue.
