Very nice cars, top spot. I have seen in Battle a couple of Daimler Limosines being used for wedding(s). One was a '89 G-reg, which must have been one of the last Daimler ever bulit, am I right? The one other was K-Reg and have seen it before.

No, Daimler versions of the XJ40 were built into the mid-90s.

The Daimler name is still very much in use, my daily modern motor - built just 1 year ago - carries it as seen in the following picture of its nearside door jamb:
....none of which I would have been bothering to post up, but I've just been to the AsDa and was followed for much of the 11 mile return trip by what appeared to be a MK2 Jaguar. I keeked in the mirror as it turned off behind me and yep, there it was, a totally rank Mitsuoka Viewt.
How unbelievably disappointing, and it didn't even have an interesting animal in the back seat.

Our correspondent in Battle must have been out taking his puppy for a walk when you drove through.

I saw a two-tone (dark red and white) Ford Consul in Battle this morning in the rain.

A red 1275 Midget went by the shop this morning and a little later, a Porsche 911, on an E (Prefix plate), so that's there or thereabouts now and bar for Humbug Brown, would now be coming up for free tax.
In the local garage, I saw a Bentley Corniche (Fixed head model) and an Alfa Spider with no engine (That’s been there years; I don’t think the owner can afford the repairs).
