Highlights

Reported to have had thousands spent with extensive work already carried out
Fitted with a stainless steel exhaust and electronic ignition
Runs and drives, presented as a straightforward project for completion

The Appeal

The Daimler 250 accomplished something rather wonderful. It paired the compact, sporting lines of the Jaguar Mark 2 saloon with Daimler's own 2.5-litre V8. Rumour has it that Jaguar acquired Daimler just to get its hands on this powerplant, developed by engineering guru Edward Turner.

Our 1969 example is presented as a straightforward project with much of the groundwork already laid. The vendor reports that thousands have been spent, with a number of upgrades and improvements completed to date. The car runs and drives but still requires attention in several areas as outlined below. For an enthusiast seeking a Daimler 250 with a solid foundation and a manageable list of remaining tasks, this is the opportunity you've been looking for.
