Arrive Like Royalty – Daimler Light Straight 8 (1938)

Before WWII, Daimler stood shoulder to shoulder with Rolls-Royce in the British luxury car world – but with more advanced technology and a quieter ride. The royal family favored Daimler vehicles for decades, and King Edward VIII himself was a proud owner of a Light Straight 8.

This 1938 Daimler Light Straight 8 is a truly exceptional piece of automotive history – elegant, rare, and steeped in prestige.

Franz Olender, co-founder of extrabesonders, with the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II

It all began with a childhood dream.

As a child, I had a clear plan: when I'm 18, I'm going to buy a Mercedes-Benz and become a cab driver.

What began as a childhood dream developed over the years into a deep passion for classic cars. The one Mercedes became an extraordinary collection - each vehicle a piece of history, a symbol of style, character and emotion.

With extrabesonders, I have created a place where this fascination is not only preserved, but can be experienced. For people who appreciate the extraordinary - whether as lovers of classic vehicles or as guests at special occasions.

Our vehicles and our location stand for unique experiences. For moments that stay with you. For dreams that become reality.
