1968 Daimler

Daimler 250 V8 1968….  An original and complete UK car. The body shell is the best UK shell I have ever seen and is absolutely fantastic with no corrosion or repairs and is as good as the day Pressed Steel supplied it. The first owner laid the car up due to health problems and the car remained garaged until his death. We have stripped the car down to the bare shell and are rebuilding it from the “ground up” Having been left for such a long time the engine had seized in its bores so we have dismantled it and rebuilt with new bearings rings and all gaskets and seals. Borg Warner automatic gearboxes are prone to building up condensation if left unused for a long time and water is fatal to them so as a precaution we have had the box totally restored by BW specialists and is now as good as new. All the brakes and running gear have been renewed with new brake and fuel lines in copper and a stainless steel exhaust system is fitted.

The Heritage certificate shows the car was manufactured 2nd October 1968 and was supplied through Statstone London. Original colour British Racing Green with Suede Green interior.

We have a full photographic record of the rebuild.

Soon to be competed pre-completion offers are invited.
