History of the Daimler DB18
The model was released just before the outbreak of World War II, during which the business was forced to focus on the production of military vehicles. As a result, the majority of DB18s were constructed after 1945.
To contemporaries, the model was known as the Daimler 2½-litre until Daimler adopted the North American practise of naming their cars (though not on any badgework), and a revised version of the car was introduced in October 1948 at the London Motor Show, "principally for export" and branded as the Daimler Consort. The updates included integrating the firewall into the body rather than having it as part of the chassis, switching from rod operated mechanical brakes to a Girling-Bendix hydraulic front and rod operated rear system, combining the headlights into the front guards, and adding a badge plate behind the front bumper with a more curved radiator grille.
