Surviving Daimler Armoured Cars
The vehicles shown on this page are the 41 known cars out of the 2694 produced.
There are perhaps another few other vehicles worldwide in a state of great disrepair or existing as badly damaged range wrecks.
It is very unlikely that many more cars will be found and restored.

This is the oldest surviving vehicle and was a Gate Guardian in Winchester.
It is complete in most respects and moves under its own power.
It is currently undergoing restoration.

A car converted for local agricultural use that will make an interesting project for its owner.
Due to political reasons it is currently illegal to export items of military purposes from this country.
However since the Arab Spring this situation may change and possible that these cars will be saved.

It suspected that after the tsunami in 2000 it is probably now lies at the bottom of the Indian Ocean!
