dsl ◊ 2026-04-26 22:14	GX 9288 was London, March - June 32, with 9001 to 9550 apparently reserved for commercial vehicles. Big Daimlers - such as "35 hp" and upwards - still had these split windscreens in 1930, but lesser models didn't .... This 1929 35/120 might be our closest example, but it caused some confusion. However this might shed light daimlere20 wrote Because the front end changed appearance in late 1929. From then on, the headlamps were of the "Tulip" type, and mounted with a cross brace from wing to radiator surround. The surround itself is also different. Hopefully this link will illustrate the appearance of the later cars: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/17264/lot/522/ If these are the 1930+ lights, 1932 date might work, and it could even be the renamed 35 hp. But I ain't no Daimlerist, just a bloke with a very dense book to try and make sense of ... so I'll just tiptoe through the tulips and post the 1930 linked Bonhams pic
