Description

- Single owner Daimler with every receipt, every service record, every bit of its story documented.
- £20, 000 spent recently on comprehensive restoration: head gaskets, timing chain, water pump, professional welding, rust remediation, and paint refinement. Mechanically solid, presents beautifully.
- 134, 129 miles of careful driving. Leather interior has been restored; it shows its age gracefully, not apologetically.
- I'm asking £6, 431 (negotiable), but I'm more interested in the right home than the highest offer.

The car is in Billericay, Essex. My mother lives there and can show you around it. Test drives are absolutely fine, you'll just need to sort your own insurance.

Please note: I am orchestrating the sale from Australia, so there may be delays in my replies due to time differences.

If this speaks to you, please reach out as I've got more photos, videos, and history to share with anyone seriously interested. My father spent 27 years with this car. It wasn't a hobby or an investment; it was his companion, his pride, something he poured both love and resources into until the very end. Everywhere he went, the car turned heads, a testament to the mint condition he maintained it in. This car has witnessed countless family milestones and will be deeply missed. Now residing in Australia, I'm striving to fulfill his final wish by passing this cherished family heirloom to someone who will appreciate it as much as he did. It's important to us that it finds the right home.
