THE APPEAL
Elegantly styled, V8-powered and with low production numbers, the Daimler SP250 is a stunning sports car that offers owners an exclusive title. With a touch of American 50s flair, the British classic features a lightweight fibreglass body styled superbly with gorgeous lines and tail light fins. Its robust 2548cc V8 engine brings ample power as well as a soundtrack that will make the hairs on your neck stand up.
This 1964 C-Spec is a wonderful example of the last car to be produced by Daimler before its takeover by Jaguar. It comes with a huge file of history, including the original registration document as well as pages and pages of maintenance commissioned by its two previous owners and its current owner. Believed to have been restored in the early 90s, this Dart is in fantastic condition and is only being sold due to a bereavement.

THE INTERIOR
- Stunning deep red interior
- Fantastic condition with a couple of small blemishes
- Retrimmed prior to current ownership, believed to be the early 90s
Unquestionably the 60s are a superb era for car interiors and the Daimler is a perfect example of why. This classic was originally built with a black interior, however, a retrim to a deep red is believed to have been carried out in the early 90s. The finish is impressive, the colour choice a superb pairing to the exterior, its grand, plush and feels absolutely perfect for this car. There are a couple of little blemishes here and there, but nothing that is noticeable other than a small mark on the driver seat and wear appearing on the top of the dash. Overall, it's a wonderful and enjoyable interior.
THE EXTERIOR
- Gorgeous Ivy White paint
- Sublime condition
- Spotless wire wheels with new tyres
- Black vinyl hood
The Daimler SP250 is a beautiful sports car, with some gorgeous features such as the large chrome grill and rear tail light fins, a style influenced by 50s America. It wasn't an instant hit on its release but its design and character have grown over the years and now it stands out as an exclusive and seductive roadster. The condition of the car is very, very good, with only the smallest sign of wear visible. It underwent a restoration in the early 90s, where the colour was changed to Ivy White alongside mechanical and interior work, the full details are not clear however the fibreglass body appears to be stress-free and the paint professionally applied. The black hood albeit not the original is in great shape, with a few wear marks as well as a very small repair. In summary, this is a very attractive example, kept in fantastic condition by all of its owners.
THE MECHANICS
- 2548cc Petrol V8 Engine
- 4-Speed manual
- Very well maintained with supporting documentation
This Daimler has been used very infrequently, with only 53 miles covered since its last MOT in 2016 and has been Garaged and unmoved for several months. However, upon our arrival and after a little bit of fuel, the impressive V8 sprung into action and filled the quiet hamlet with the most beautiful ensemble. This engine has a good reputation for being reliable and robust if the right maintenance has been carried out and from what we can see the maintenance on this car has been meticulously carried out by all owners with pages of documentation retained. The current operating health of the car is believed to be fine however as it is being sold due to a bereavement there is little knowledge and understanding of its
current health. The sheer amount of paperwork and maintenance carried out should provide enough confidence to any future owner, however.
SUMMARY
The Dart is a special sports car for an array of reasons, it's an exclusive, rare car with impressive performance and a pleasing soundtrack and with many owners reluctant to give up these cars, they very rarely come up for sale, especially in as wonderful condition as this C-Spec. This is a unique opportunity to invest in a car very few have and a car that will likely only grow in value and popularity.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
