Daimler
DAIMLER DB17

Saloon, sports saloon, fixed-head coupé, drophead coupé, 4-door cabriolet.

Still called a 15, though bigger engine means it's technically a 17. Wider track, but still essentially the same chassis while bodies are to '36 specifications apart from a new razor-edge sports saloon style also fitted to the Lanchester 14. Like all small Daimlers, has a detachable cylinder head. Parts difficult, but a good Club helps.
