From now onwards the Daimler 'Fifteen' takes the road with a newly designed, more powerful engine. The Daimler Fifteen' has already carned the reputation of being a joy to handle-a car that brought new interest and fresh pleasure to driving. There is greater pleasure still to be had in hand- ling its successor. The comfort, silence, roadholding, steering and cornering for which the Daimler Fifteen' is famous are enjoyed to the full in a far more spirited car. The new Daimler 24 litre is as silent, as tract- able as its forerunner-but faster off the mark. As well-mannered and easily controlled -but, through the whole of its very wide speed range, more generously responsive to the throttle.
