History
Daimler replaced the One-O-Four with the Majestic in 1958. It had a 3.8-litre six-cylinder engine, disc brakes on all four wheels and an automatic gearbox as standard.
The Majestic shared its styling with the One-O-Four but was wider, with smoother lines. Production of the six-cylinder Majestic continued until 1962.
