SUMMARY

A simply beautiful Daimler, subject to a professional restoration some years ago.

DESCRIPTION

Introduced in October 1967, the V8-250 was a minor facelift of the long-running 2.5 V8 saloon
Differences were minor: slimline bumpers, negative-earth electrics, an alternator instead of a dynamo, padded door cappings, reclinable split-bench front seats and a heated rear window
This smart example is finished in Opalescent Golden Sand over an excellent tan interior with Nutmeg carpets and its original Radiomobile Model 80
The car was subject to a substantial, photo-documented body and interior restoration around eight years ago
The original engine was replaced in 1991 and, we understand, the replacement unit has been reconditioned within the last few years
Supplied with its V5C, old MOTs and the restoration photographs

Vehicle History

Remarks

Underwent an extensive restoration around ten years ago, including a replacement reconditioned engine around the time. It formed part of a deceased estate sale subsequently, so history is sparce, but the condition of the car is the basis upon which this car should be judged.
