caption_attribution_description: English: 1902 Daimler 22 The King's new Daimler car
context_page_description: Their new Daimler 22 horsepower full-size luxury car was first displayed by Daimler in April 1902 at The Automobile Club’s Exhibition in London's Agricultural Hall. Daimler had elected to drop their multiple old low powered designs and restrict themselves to this 22 horsepower and a pair of 9 or 12 horsepower cars to the same design as the 22 but more lightly constructed. The King’s not quite finished new Daimler 22 was reported to be the chief attraction of the show.
  The 22 horsepower cars were geared to run at about 40 to 50 miles per hour when the engine was running at normal speed.
  The following January 1903 Daimler, having earlier dropped the 9 hp, replaced their 12 with a 14-horsepower car making a range of just two vehicles.
  In January 1904 Daimler introduced a wholly new range of four cars including a 3.8-litre 18/22.
context_section_description: The body of the King’s car was arranged to carry two on the  box at the front and six people behind in the tonneau. The two rearmost seats have rounded backs.  Curved glass panels reach up to the canopy and provide protection from dust. A glass panel above the door gives access to the rear of the carriage. Side curtains are provided. The car is upholstered in blue Morocco leather and the body is painted in crimson lake lined with red.
  In January 1903 it was announced the King had ordered a second Daimler 22. A week later again the King ordered a third 22 for the use of the Prince of Wales.
