First registered 01/09/1961 Black and grey.Straight six cylinder. Dunlop disc brakes and Borg-Warner automatic transmission. Possibly also power assisted steering as it?s very light. Original registration number 781 CXU Changed to 365 HFJ in about 1964. Vehicle identification number: 99732. Engine number: 92445 Historic Vehicle The car?s historyMy father bought it second hand in 1964 or 1965 (and, rather eccentrically, swapped the original registration number with that of his Morris 1000 Traveller). The car, first delivered on 1st September 1961, had originally been supplied by Hughes of Beaconsfield to a London businessman living in the town, who had bought it at his wife?s request. But she had then died so he sold the car with only 6,000 miles on the clock. Shortly after my father bought it he had to put in a new speedometer so the present reading of 60,558 miles is about 6,000 miles too low. I remember him driving me back to boarding school along the old A4 when I was about 17, and the car running more and more slowly until it finally stopped near Silbury Hill. Father had forgotten to top up the oil, but no important damage appeared to have been done. When I learned to drive in the late 1960s, he would very occasionally let me use it and I remember trying to impress various girlfriends with varying degrees of success. I went to my wedding in it, Labrador in the back, and it was in attendance at my parents? funerals and our children?s christenings. Between November 1980 and April 1981 I left the car with Fred Seaward of Buckland Newton Garage, Buckland Newton, Dorset. Fred thoroughly checked and repaired or renewed a number of mechanical and electrical parts, repaired or rebuilt some bodywork and doors, and welded front splash panels, sill plates, etc. He re-sprayed the car with four litres of black and five litres of silver paint. In July 1995, on the 50th anniversary of Labour?s 1945 election victory, Downing Street gave me permission to drive to Chequers, the prime minister?s country residence, and have an evening picnic in the grounds. Our party consisted of my wife?s mother ? Clement Attlee?s daughter ? my wife (Clem?s granddaughter) our two young sons and me. We drove in the Daimler. I was asked to send our and the car?s details ahead, but for Granny the trip was a surprise. When we arrived at security at the Chequers entrance gates, one of the police officers asked, ?Can you tell me why in 1964 your father changed this car?s registration number?? I couldn?t, but Chequers? security background- checking was impressive. As we were finishing our picnic, a minion appeared and asked if, we?d like to go up to the house for a drink with Mrs Major (John Major?s wife Norma). We did .She was charming, and delighted to show our two boys, among other things, the secret door in the library and Cromwell?s death mask. In July 2004 I had a (gentle) collision with a Land Rover in a lane near where we live. The damage required the removal and replacement (with second-hand parts) of the radiator grill surround and flutes, front bumper, o/s front over-rider and o/s headlamp and bowl and rim and fixings. The necessary work was completed and second-hand parts supplied by John Nash of the Daimler Enthusiasts Club, Christchurch, Dorset. (T: 01202 481251).

Antonii, & Samuel De Tournes, 1658.⁂ First Tournes published edition, 'the best and most complete edition of Paracelsus' collected works' (Neville), complete with the often-lacking portrait after Tintoretto. Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (c.1493-1541), who wrote under the pen name Paracelsus, was a Renaissance pioneer of medicine, an astronomer and alchemist. As native of Switzerland, he was educated in Basel, Vienna, and Ferrara, and travelled extensively throughout Europe during his life as an itinerant physician. He is credited with establishing the role of chemistry in medicine, and is often referred to as the "father of toxicology." His most known legacy is his record of the first clinical descriptions of syphilis and epilepsy, and his advocation of the humane treatment of the mentally ill in an era when they were believed to be possessed by demons.

Pasteur (Louis) Examen du rôle attribué au gaz oxygène atmosphérique dans la destruction des matières et végétales aprés la mort, offprint from Comptes rendus des séances de l'Académie des Sciences, tome LVI, séance du 20 avril 1863 (journal pagination 734-40), light toning, original green printed wrappers, housed in custom-made box with red morocco spine label, gilt, (box lightly marked), 4to, Paris, Mallet-Bachelier, 1863.⁂ Extremely rare separately-paginated offprint of the magnum opus of Pasteur's work on spontaneous generation, and his proof that putrefaction was, like fermentation, caused by living organisms; this paper directly influenced Joseph Lister's research on antisepsis. Many scientists of the vitalist school, including Liebig, believed that putrefaction was due to a spontaneous breakdown of animal tissues once the chemical forces of affinity were no longer held in check by a vital force. It was also widely believed - and seemingly supported by observation - that infusoria and other organisms associated with decay were spontaneously generated in dead tissues. In this way, Pasteur was drawn into the acrimonious debate about the spontaneous generation of life and regarded the experiments described in this work as the most decisive. OCLC lists just one copy of this offprint (University of Colorado).

Bouguer's interest in the measurement of light dates from c.1721, when J. J. d'Ortous de Mairan proposed a problem that necessitated a knowledge of the relative amount of light from the sun at two altitudes. Bouguer succeeded in making such a measurement of the light from the full moon on 23 November 1725, by comparing it with that of a candle. His achievement was to see that the eye could be used, not as a meter but as a null indicator, i.e., to establish the equality of brightness of two adjacent surfaces.
