Description
The Daimler SP250, an English car made for the American market with a HEMI V8 engine. This white on red Daimler is a beautiful example. Absolutely a lot of fun to drive and more than a show off, wow!
Exterior:
These daimlers have a fiberglass body, and this one was well maintained after the restoration. Next to a few small tears on the trunk, the paint is in very good condition and looking very shiny. The chrome is also looking very nice. Car comes with a beautiful black soft top and lovely Daimler hub caps.
Interior:
The red interior has a little bit of wear, but is still comfortable and looking pretty good. All gauges work.
Mechanics:
The driving experience in a lightweight "English" car like this, with a 2. 5L Hemi V8 is not what you expect, its better. A lot of torque but also very calm when you want it to be. This example has a brand new engine and shows an oil pressure of 55 when warm and 60 when cold.
History:
The Daimler SP250 is a sports car built by the Daimler Company, a British manufacturer in Coventry, from 1959 to 1964. It was the last car to be launched by Daimler before its parent company, the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA), sold it to Jaguar Cars in 1960. Jaguar bought Daimler in 1960, and were immediately concerned about the chassis flex (which made the doors open up while driving sometimes). They brought out the "B-spec" version with extra outriggers on the chassis and a strengthening hoop between the A posts.[11] Also, other detail improvements included an adjustable steering column.
