Built from 1962 through to 1969, the Daimler 2½-litre V8 (renamed V8 250 in 1967) was the first model to be produced by the marque on a Jaguar platform, and the last Daimler to feature its own engine. While clearly a derivative of the all-conquering Mk II Jaguar, the Daimler’s fluted grille and more luxurious interior gave it an air of exclusivity. Its name was drawn from its Edward Turner-designed engine, a lightweight, eight-cylinder 2, 548cc V8 shared with the SP250 sports car. Production continued until the manufacture of all Mk II derivatives ceased in 1969, by which time some 17, 620 of the Daimler version had been made, making it the best-selling car in Daimler’s history.
Supplied by R. Bamber & Co, Southport on August 15th 1969 as confirmed by its accompanying Daimler Owner’s Service Policy, this V8 250 is finished in the attractive colour scheme of navy blue over tan upholstery. Supplied with a large history file and current V5C, it also comes with 3 boxes of spare parts to assist the new owner.
