Description
The Daimler 2. 5 V8/ V8-250 is a four-door saloon which was produced by The Daimler Company Limited in the United Kingdom from 1962 to 1969. It was the first Daimler car to be based on a Jaguar platform, the first with a unit body, and the last to feature a Daimler engine after the company was bought from the Birmingham Small Arms Company by Jaguar Cars in 1960. The engine is the hemispherical head V8 designed by Edward Turner and first used in the Daimler SP250 sports car.
This 1968 example has been part of a small collection for a number of years. The owner has started restoration however stalled when another project came along. The car will require a lot of TLC and if nothing else is a good source if spares.
Although the bodywork does have some soft areas it is not a complete disaster, and could very much be bought back to life. The cylinder heads were removed to cure a sticking valve issue and are yet to be refitted. The good news is that it does come with a number of spares, odds and ends.
This is very much a project car and "is what it is".
