Presenting a delightful, authentic Daimler 250 V8 with remarkably low mileage. This distinguished beauty shines in Masons Black, complemented by the luxurious Claret Red leather upholstery and adorned with exquisite, polished veneers, impressive bodywork, and gleaming chrome accents. Under its hood, the 2.5-liter V8 engine exudes power and vigour, having undergone a thorough refurbishment in the engine shop. It received meticulous attention, including a strip-down, inspection, and overhaul with a reground crank, ensuring impeccable oil pressure akin to that of a textbook example.
This truly British automobile boasts an extensive and noteworthy history, having received substantial investments throughout its lifetime. Recent bills alone amount to £10,000, with a significant portion of £5,100 allocated to an engine and automatic gearbox overhaul. Moreover, a treasure trove of receipts dating back to the mid-1960s further accentuates its rich past. Impressively, this car has had only four private owners, each meticulously maintaining detailed records, a rarity among classic cars.
The provenance is evident through the plethora of MOT certificates, starting from 1967, which confirm a remarkably low total mileage of only 74,000. Adding to its allure, the Daimler's new car wallet remains in pristine condition, housing not just one but two stamped-up Passport to Service Booklets. Delightfully, it even includes a card revealing the name of the skilled factory delivery driver, who was, of course, a member of the esteemed IAM (Institute of Advanced Motorists).
In addition to the impressive features mentioned earlier, the original buff logbook remains readily available, accompanied by a substantial collection of invoices and correspondence from both the Daimler factory and the supplying dealer. Among these remarkable finds are the authentic 1964 Sales Invoice for the car, an exceptionally rare document, and the original Daimler Sales Brochure, offering a glimpse into the past. Owning these items is akin to possessing cherished treasures from another era.
Furthermore, the car retains its original Driver's handbook, a testament to its authenticity and completeness. To add a touch of nostalgia, an era-appropriate period radio is also included, allowing you to tune in and enjoy the Light Programme, reliving the timeless charm of days gone by. Embracing this remarkable package evokes a true sense of automotive history at its finest.
