BROCHURE OF THE BARKER BODIED HEARSE AND LIMOUSINE

In the late 1940's Daimler has published a brochure of the Barker bodied hearse and limousine based on either a DE36 or a DE27 chassis. At the time Barker was already part of Daimler and was their “in-house” coach builder. I purchased the brochure recently from the Daimler historian Brian Smith. Just click on each of the entries below and one of the six pages will become visible. The limousine shows a striking resemblance with our DE36 VOG 299, although she has probably not been built by Barker, but by Startin based in Birmingham.

Click on each of the entries to view a page. Or even better, right-click and choose “save target as”. Then view the picture with a separate program like Windows Picture And Fax Viewer for a much better resolution:

Also in the late 1940's Daimler published a general sales brochure for her complete range of DE's as bodied by Hooper, Windover, Barker and Freestone & Webb.

SALES BROCHURE IN CONNECTION WITH THE ROYAL TOUR TO SOUTH-AFRICA IN 1947

The Royal Tour to South-Africa in 1947 was an excellent opportunity to publish a separate promotional brochure.

Also put here, but not strictly a brochure, are four original photos of the 1947 South-Africa Royal Tour.
