message: I believe the hearse used for the Queen Mother's funeral was a Daimler XJ6 conversion, not a DS420, although the mourners cars may well have been DS420s. RGCorris (talk) 11:00, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

message: The original press release has Egan associated with the mobile boardroom vehicle, but does not say he designed or intended to use it. 15:39, 19 March 2009 141.151.65.227
The original press release does NOT have Egan associated with the mobile boardroom vehicle. See the text here: http://www.myDS420.info/officecar/press1.1.l.html
Several uninformed sources mix up this mobile boardroom car (the "Executive Limousine", a 1984 car) with the car built for Mr. Egan (a 1987 car). The latter had no office equipment except for a mobile telephone.

:Haha oh wow :D You gotta source that, because if its true (and it wouldn't surprise me), it'd be one of the strangest modifications of a British luxury car ever done. I'd love to see that in the article. --76.115.67.114 (talk) 04:20, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

message: "No direct replacement was produced by Jaguar, although coachbuilders have adapted the Daimler version of the XJ6." So what exactly did this look like? Was it a slightly stretched XJ6 sedan? If anyone knows of a photo it would be a good addition to the article. --76.115.67.114 (talk) 04:24, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: XJ6-derived replacement?

message: Did 'Daimler Motor Company Limited' even exist when this was made? That makes it look like it was an independent company using its old legal pre Jaguar name when from what I've read it was basically just a marque/brand or whatever of Jaguar after 1960 and then part of BMC/British Leyland. And also in the lead it states 'produced by The Daimler Company Limited' which is a mouthful (does 'Limited' really need to be there?) and I question its accuracy.

replies: text: You can see by the Companies House file (company number 00112569) it is still in existence and, it says, still active. Eddaido (talk) 21:36, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

text: I have since added in Jaguar Cars in parentheses in the infobox, to clarify somewhat that the car was built after Daimler became a Jaguar subsidiary. I believe that's sufficient, rather than getting further into the intricacies of Jaguar's ownership from 1968 to 1992. I don't think it's pertinent to mention the BMH --> BL --> independent --> Ford corporate ownership in any detail. CplDHicks2 (talk) 02:27, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
