Coventry's first registered car, DU1, stands in a storeroom at the Daimler Company's Radford factory as immaculate and road-worthy as the day it was biought nearly 50 years ago. The 23 h.p. sedan has attention lavised on it daily by a group of Daimler apprentices whose skill and enthusiasm have saved quite a number of historic Coventry cars from the scrap-heap, and converted them into exhibits which would grace any showroom.
