1964 Daimler 250 V8

Highlights

  • Engine has been recently rebuilt
  • Much-cherished car with five years of family ownership
  • All original switchgear and instruments
  • Recently re-dyed interior


The Appeal

The Daimler 250 V8 is a distinguished British luxury saloon that combines refined elegance with spirited performance, and marks one of the most significant moments in the marque's history. Jaguar were absorbing the legendary luxury brand lock, stock and barrel, and the 250 was the first to be based on Jaguar bones, while still maintaining Daimler's innovative 2.5-litre V8 engine.

This particular 1964 example presents an appealing opportunity, having been comprehensively mechanically refreshed with a fully rebuilt engine. With its original documentation, switchgear and instruments all present, this Daimler maintains its authentic character while benefiting from careful maintenance and sympathetic updates.
