Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented Daimler SP250 (Dart) B-Spec with exceptional long-term ownership and significant recent investment. Owned since 1970, this car combines provenance, character and usability in a way few classic British sports cars can match. Its Edward Turner-designed 2. 5-litre V8 delivers effortless performance and an unmistakable soundtrack, while the overdrive gearbox and rack-and-pinion steering conversion make it especially enjoyable on modern roads.
Benefiting from an engine rebuild, respray and new soft top in 2024 at Robert Grinter Restorations, this SP250 is ready to be appreciated and enjoyed. Practical upgrades such as floor strengthening and the steering conversion add confidence, while the included hard top increases versatility for year-round use. The carpet and leather interior would benefit from attention, offering scope for the next owner to improve the car further while preserving its character. With its distinctive styling, strong mechanical specification and more than five decades of continuous ownership, this is a compelling example for an enthusiast seeking a usable, characterful and well-cared-for classic.
