1961 Daimler SP250 dart For Sale

I have owned the car since February 2016.
I have a Jaguar Heritage Certificate stating the date of manufacture was 25th August 1961 so B spec.
This was originally for the American market hence LHD, originally exported to Texas, this will explain the excellent condition of the chassis where I cannot find any evidence of welding or damage.
When I purchased the car the engine was running, clutch working, gears engaging and brakes soft but working.
I decided to go through the running gear including the brakes and suspension first and ran up quite a few bills with Barry Thorne, I upgraded the rear suspension with thew help of a Robert Grinter telescopic suspension kit, a pair of new rear leaf springs are included but not yet fitted, Spax adjustable shocks front and rear.
The second phase was to enlist the services of Russ Carpenter, Russ rebuilt the carburettors and completely refurbished and rebuilt the cylinder heads, all cooling hoses and stainless joining pipework replaced.
