Am I seeing a light on the brake caliper and can you elaborate

 

Reflection from the city lights.

 

I think its a reflection from the door lights onto the discs because the caliper is to the 2 o'clock.

 

Here is my just purchased 1998 VDP!

 

It is hard to determine the color on those pics, but she looks a lot like my own VDP when I just bought her.
I hope you will enjoy her as much as I do.

 

Dark Green!

 

Great pictures, car looks excellent. Like EJan I'm unsure of the exact color. Looks wonderful whatever the color.

 

Ah, I thought a dark blue, difficult to tell in the shaded light.........looks great in green too!

 

Ah, the coin finally fell on my side ... you are the guy looking for advice on several offered cars.
So this is the 78k Vanden Plas you mentioned in your first post?
Deserves some more pictures ...

 

Very nice jdip, very nice indeed, ....I can see it already, Eric is jealous...

 

Yeah, I can still very much appreciate a stock VDP, and still think the dark green sets off the chrome perfectly.
It has been 4 year since we bought ours, test rode in shitty weather, and a day after my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer ... all went up and sunny since then ...

 

Very nice jdip,
Mines green as well (code HGG)
Like Eric says it sets of the chrome beautifully
Enjoy

Mine came from the factory with chrome 'n' mesh.

 

Daimler Super V8 in classic BRG with ivory interior.

 

I am telling you folks, this thread has provided us with to some of the nicest looking X308 machines and now Rostman brings us this Russian beauty. On top of the Daimler executive seating, those deep pile mats make you want to go barefoot.

Be careful, Eric wants a set of those seats....can't say I don't either. Very nice.

 

Wow, magnificent, looks brand new!

And interesting to see the rear center console variant.

(I think I'd still install a leaping Jaguar hood ornament!)

When these cars become collectible, this will be one of the most desirable.

Yes that interior is art.

 

On a Daimler ... really?

 

Rostman, you are still around .. thought you had left us long time ago for the x351 forum ... Supersweet Daimler you got there!

 

Rostman's is a super example, I just thought 'ah Mr Bond...' when I saw the 3/4 shot.

On the rear seating I toyed with the idea, but found the SWB chassis too short back there, they move the passenger's knees right into the rear of the front seats, the other downer was the re-trim cost....... (shocked face)
