Description
Daimler Majestic Major of 1961 Car very rare in Italy, perhaps the only original Daimler engine 8-cylinder V 4. 6-liter engine for over 220 hp and almost 200 km / h Third owner for almost 20 years (since 2006) Car originally registered in Switzerland and from there purchased (in 2006) and driven directly in Italy to Genoa Mechanically in order and perfectly maintained Mechanical work carried out for thousands of euros demonstrable with invoices (complete overhaul automatic transmission , power steering , brake system and electrical system) Bodywork in order with some rust bubbles near the rear wheel arches.
Completely original interior; seats (6 homologated seats) in grey Connolly leather (repairable tear on the driver's side seat; otherwise in excellent condition); beautiful briarwoods perfectly preserved. Car published in the magazine "Ruoteclassiche" in August 2008. I am selling due to foreseeable lack of space. I am available to provide any further clarification and information to people really interested. This car was the dream of my childhood, but at the time (in the 1960s) it cost more than a Ferrari and I could not afford it. I was fascinated by the opulence of its interior, which was a triumph of fine leather and briarwood, and by the fact that under its compassionate and austere appearance it concealed a 4. 6-litre 8-cylinder engine with over 220 hp capable of taking it from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/ h) in just over 9 seconds, and with a top speed of over 1. 5 mph (96 km/ h). At the age of 41 (in 2003), I began a search that lasted three years (very few have survived, since the total production run was just over 1, 000) until finally, in 2006, I found a splendid example in Zurich, Switzerland, which I drove and brought back to Italy in person. The most painful and difficult part was the bureaucracy involved in obtaining registration and Italian plates, but in the end I managed it. Now, almost 20 years after my purchase, I don't feel like driving such a dimensionally demanding car any more and, on top of that, it is very likely that, in the near future, I will no longer have the space where I currently keep it. In this regard, I would like to sell it to a true enthusiast who knows how to appreciate it as it deserves and who has adequate space and time to devote to it.
