Jaguar/Daimler History:

In 1960, BSA sold Daimler to Jaguar Cars, which continued Daimler's line and added a Daimler variant of its Mark II sports saloon. Jaguar was then merged into the British Motor Corporation in 1966 and British Leyland in 1968. Under these companies, Daimler became an upscale trim level for Jaguar cars. It was widely considered to be the luxurious version of the Mark II. It features the same body metal and different fluted chrome trim on the front and rear. It is much rarer that the more typical Mark II.
