Why the 👑 Queen drove an Indian Daimler 

cool!

American-market Jaguar-era Daimlers were marketed as "Jaguar (model name) Vanden Plas".

Jag got 2 good V8 engines by the takeover, but failed to make good use of either. The 2.5 V8 when fitted the Mk2 Jag was a lighter and more powerful than the 2.4 inline6 by Jag. The 4.4 V8 beat the Jag 3.8 in a similar way. But the idiots at Jag suffered from the not invented here syndrome and refused to take these engines seriously.

@@basilpunton5702 - it's an interesting argument; if the absolute potential increase in displacement created by 'v'-type engines isn't required, is the inline the better type? Many German and English companies seem to have favored the inline, while here in the US "V8's are great", and sixes (even v-type) seem to be considered dull.

@@floydblandston108 I was alluding to the weight and power of the V8 engines. You are right about the differences between cultures.The Jag i6 were heavy and lower power compared to the V8's. I do not care what is the cylinder count. At 2.5l it is realistically top of 4 and bottom of 8 cylinders, there are exceptions mainly diesel 4's. Weight/power/fuel usage are what is most important.

still we need the diamond back.

That's as far as it goes name only

I left 2 comment and they both disappears. Love your work...

When I was a boy we had a 2.5litre V8 in the Jag Mk2 body. Perhaps some info on Lady Docker and the Docker Daimlers that pushed the company into more financial distress. Daimler Dart, possibly first fibreglass bodied car. 4.2 and 2.5 V8 engines were excellent. But what happened to the German Engines?

@@robertwestinghouse4098 Odd - I can see both of them.

Brits also don't pronounce the "r" AFAIK.

More like „deimler“ 😉

Interesting!

Fuso is under daimler now? So they have took over mitsubishi truck?

@@ramadhanisme7 From what I found out, Fuso is 89% owned by Daimler Trucks and 11% by Mitsubishi. They are using the Mitsubishi trademark by a licence agreement.

Thank you for saying this - I didn't because of perhaps offence to what is a rather good channel.

Hear hear! Also amuses me that even the tyre company Michelin itself pronounces its name 'mitchellin' in its British advertising - only poncey restaurants pronounce it 'meeshlan'. And then there's Nestles, nobody in the UK used to call it Nestlé!

The really interesting part is that Gottlieb Daimler was born Däumler (pronounced "Doimler"). Nowhere is it mentioned why he changed the spelling of his family name. My best guess is that he wanted to adopt his name to British spelling (as there is no "Umlaut ä" in the English alphabet) when he started selling engines in Britain.

@@vectorfiles or because Daumen means thumb in german and there is a story about the Däumling, a man as big as a thumb

Lol. According to Brits, everything in the world is invented by Brits 😂. Recently i was watching a British documentary about Wright Brothers first flight, in that also they included some British names out of no where. Never heard about them😂 Wright brothers uncle's relatives wife's brother's eldest son's wife's brother was working in London as a peon and one evening he suggested about flying. That's how wright brothers got their idea. These Brits 😂. Untile 1940s when openheimer did his experiments in extreme secret, no Brit has ever heard about an atom bomb. But you watch British documentaries about atom bomb, you'll hear only British names 😂. These dudes 😂 According to the Brits and British documentaries: Paper was invented in Britain 😂 Water was first discovered in Britain 😂 Mercedes Benz was invented in Britain 😂 American Wright brothers invented aeroplane in Britain 😂 Steve Jobs invented iPhone in Britain 😂🤣 Sanskrit, Latin etc was invented in Britain 😂😂 Pyriamids were built by a Brit 😂 Great wall of China was designed by a Brit 😂 Automobile was invented by a Brit 😂😂😂🤣 Ford invented assembly line after a Brit told him secretly 😂😂😂 Colosseum, Eiffel tower etc was built by Brits 😂😂 Internet, Chinese languages, Thai etc was invented by Brits 😂😂 When Niel Armstrong reached moon, a Brit was waiting for him there. 😂😂 Tesla is invented in Britain 😂😂😂 A Brit told Einstein e=mc2 😭 If you hear documentaries of this dude, you'll believe that everything from Asia to America's was invented by these dudes. In reality, these dudes couldn't even invent a hair pin. 100% of British inventions are stolen or cheap copies of Nazi Germany technologies 😂😂

Was looking through the comments hoping someone else noticed haha

The XJ will return as an electric

You mean the X391? It was cancelled late last year.

Hm, yes. We (GB) pronounced Daimler differently too. Big Car could have added not a pinch of salt but pepper to this doc by paying a little attention to the difference...

Thanks for clarifying. I think in the video I mentioned at the time of acquisition they had a part ownership, but as you say it was sold around 2010 I believe.

i mean im not sure id say they are competitive. one is a market leader and the other one is a niche producer

@@TunedMercedes Well "competitive" is a subjective matter, though I had only mentioned JLR are a competitor. Also, not sure I would call a manufacturer which had sales of over 400 thousand cars a "niche producer". And I think many will argue that the Range Rover series is still the benchmark in the premium SUV space.

@@julupani this is a basic business school example actually. MB sets pretty much the market and then you have competitors to it that compete on power or other areas (bmw) and then niche manufacture that may dominate a segment like luxury off road vehicles, ultra luxury etc. I think range rover if they focuses on reliability it can continue to be a great brand.

Thank you for that Stephen; too many today neither know nor care about such fascinating details which bring little footnotes in history alive...

According to Wikipedia, JLR owns the brand, so yes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanchester_Motor_Company

Yes. Because they couldn’t use the Daimler name in USA. They called it VDP

Lego - they made it. Not sure if they still do.

Loving your wacky channel!

@@BigCar2 thanks!

The Daimler company used Mercedes as a brand name, then eventually changed their name.

Oh come on! Who wouldn't enjoy paddling around in a "Strength through Joy" wagon?

Some car names only sound good in their native language though. For example Maserati "Four doors", Ferrari "Red head", Lamborghini "Hot damn!". Mitsubishi Pajero apparently had to be renamed to Shogun in Portugal, because Pajero is a rude word there. German cars used to be quite logical in their naming system. A 330i used to be a 3 series with a 3.0 l engine with injection. Nowadays it is a bit more complicated.

Sorry, Peugeot videos seem to do really badly. Not sure why.

Yes they did. Check my source link in the description.

And Daimler

It was when they bought JLR. See the source in the description.

They also made buses, but I didn't think that was relevant to the video. Given your question, I was wrong!

@@BigCar2 Still a great and very informative video! 👍

@Ululu Kululu Never

@Ululu Kululu slave mentality

@Ululu Kululu 😂😂😂

@Ululu Kululu leftover Sepoy's Sp3rm

They should be JLRs brand to compete with Rolls Royce & Bentley

To be honest I think jag should simply move upmarket and stop trying to compete with BMW or Mercedes as it never succeeds at that and maybe introduce a brand bellow they own the Rover marque for example

@@Thanos.m oh dear ... as a Jag passenger since 1968 and later driver, for at least two decades, I believe that Jaguar is no more. Not worth it. Forget it. It has become a revenge of the colonies.

@@Lando-kx6so yes!

Daimler is now a truck company. I was recently thinking about this and I think they should make it as a car company. But where do you place it?

Basically it has become and an ultra luxurious trim level for jaguar but they there hasn't been another one since the the lunch of the new style XJ In 2010

Now it's tata

Not to mention, the 'Windsors' have always been sort of 'ixnay on the Ermanjay' about themselves....

Daimler Super V8 - Queen Elizabeth's personal car! - old git, UK

Jaguars are not called Daimler, Jaguars are called Jaguar. Jaguar offer a trim level called Daimler the same way that Ford offer a trim level called Ghia. Ford are not called Ghia.

Daimler was not parent company of Mercedes, Mercedes was just the market name of their vehicles.

@@mesuesja80 yes, Daimler AG in Stuttgart, listed in the German DAX, was the parent company of Mercedes-Benz until 2019.

@@vectorfiles Daimler AG didn't change its name to Mercedes Benz group until February 2022, they also no longer make trucks since Daimler truck was spun off as a independent company in 2021

Nobody in the UK pronounces it 'Dimeler', at least, I've never heard it said that way. Most German brand name pronunciations get 'Anglicised' in the UK, either because of the spelling or because the German pronunciation is just too, er, German for us to get our tongues around!

@@chi-8289 yea the British told the world that their shitt doesn't stink 🦧

well now we know the proper way to say it. you are showing your ignorance.

Glad you liked it. I was trying something different.

no Mercedes tie in. Daimler tie in. The Mercedes brand name was created years later by Emil Jellinek, son of a Vienna rabbi, who became Daimler´s (DMG, Daimler Motorengesellschaft) first international salesman. Mercedes was the name of Emil Jellinek´s daughter. Jellinek´s first wife was from a Sephardic (Spanish) Jewish family in Algiers. Hence the Spanish name of their daughter: Mercédès

@@chi-8289 you've used the same emoji over 9000 times

True dat ! 😉

I had to stop watching, the way he says it is painful. M.

No it’s Daimler

@@louisbeerreviews8964 haha! What?

He might even think that the ‘s’ in Vanden Plas is silent. M.

@Mxbeast it is, yes, but The Daimler Company Limited (later The Daimler Motor Company Limited) was founded in England by an Englishman..

Maybe he's trying the German pronunciation, since that is the origin of the brand?

UK brand is Daymler. German is Diemler.

@@creamwobbly Nothing wrong with using the word "brand".

And how does it look to be pronounced?

Ngl Pronouncing it as "Dymler" sounds way cooler than "Deimler"

That's the old rivalry between Baden and Württemberg, the former grand-duchy and kingdom making up today's southwest German state of Baden-Württemberg. Carl Benz came from Karlsruhe (Baden) and Gottlieb Daimler came from Stuttgart (Württemberg) so the same cars are now referred to as Benz in Baden and as Daimler in Württemberg. They are sold under the brand name Mercedes-Benz but most people will just say they drive a Mercedes (or Daimler or Benz).

Glad you enjoyed it Alex

@Alle Warten Auf Das Licht Nice diplomatic reply!

I’ll have to do that one!

That was the Daimler 250 made from 1962-69. It had the same body as a Jaguar MKII but with a 2.5 litre V8 engine.
