Ooooh, a Docker Daimler! Never seen one in colour before.
They're even more vulgar in colour.

They appear to be coming out of the woodwork. Another one just sold. And for surprisingly cheap, I'd have thought that level of opulent tackiness, with an added frisson of history, celebrity, and scandal, would have gone for way more.

I think that the thought process behind this design is "If your wealth doesn't offend the plebs, then you aren't doing it right. "

Picture a car built for a British aristocrat in the 1950s, and I guarantee something like this does not spring immediately to mind. Now, an Arab oil sheik or Russian oligarch, sure, maybe even an Indian maharajah.

From what I've read, Norah Docker genuinely believed it'd lift their mundane, colourless little lives, just by knowing such things existed.
