Daimler V8 250

The Daimler 2.5 V8 was launched late in 1962. It was essentially a re-badged Jaguar Mark 2 fitted with Daimler's 2.5-litre V8 engine and drive-train, a Daimler fluted grille and rear number plate surround, distinctive wheel trims, badges, and interior details including a split-bench front seat from the Jaguar Mark 1 and a black enamel steering wheel. Special interior and exterior colours were specified. Most cars were fitted with power-assisted steering but it was optional. Automatic transmission was standard; manual, with or without overdrive, became an option in 1967.The example offered here is described by the vendor as a beautifully presented Daimler which was previously in a private collection. The paint is in pristine condition throughout with no corrosion present. The cream leather interior is equally as flawless as the exterior, with the wood paneling showing no signs of age. The carpets are also in good order.On the road the V8 pulls smoothly and effortlessly, with a smooth transition between gears. All the electrics work as they should and the car comes with 10 months MOT. The engine bay has been kept in good order and has a good history file to back up its solid maintenance. Tyres have recently been purchased for the car and all wheels are all in good order also.
