1964 Daimler V8 250 Automatic SOLD

1964 Daimler V8 250 Automatic. Westminster Blue with Red Leather Upholstery. When Jaguar got hold of Daimler, they had a great 2. 5 litre, V8 engine that Edward Turner had recently designed and had been putting into the enigmatic Daimler Dart. They discovered it fitted nicely in the Mk. II body shell and had the added bonus of being quicker than the entry level 2. 4 litre XK units without out-shining the larger power plants. It's lighter than the XK-engined Mk. II therefore gets better fuel economy and handles better, although lacks the performance of the 3. 4 litre and 3. 8 litre. It has a desirable torque curve and has been described as a more refined to drive. It was supplied with the option of a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive or a more desirable three-speed automatic gearbox. This particular Daimler was restored in 2000 and comes complete with a large photograph album detailing all of the work carried out. There is also a history folder containing bills, invoices and old MOT certificates covering many years. Still very presentable today this Daimler is resplendent on chrome wire wheels, the leather upholstery still rich in colour and the carpets free from any rips or tears. The car starts on the button and drives very well with the V8 soundtrack burbling along nicely and a smooth changing automatic gearbox. The car has an MOT through until February 2019 with no advisories. If you are looking for a very smart V8 250 that is in the best colour combination with the added bonus of power steering then this car is well worth a look. Absolutely any inspection is welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted. Delivery can be arranged.
