1969 DAIMLER V8 250 AUTO

This Daimler V8 250 was registered in August 1969, with its first owner keeping it for 20 years but using it quite sparingly. Its second owner had it from 1989 to 2005, after which it moved to an Irish dealer. After being sold on from there, it was restored by its next keeper, which included a full strip-down and repaint in Opalescent Silver Blue with grey hide in preference to its original Sable Brown with Cinnamon trim. Chrome wire wheels were added along with a Coombes bonnet. Fitted with power steering. The engine and gearbox were rebuilt as part of the restoration. However, post-refurbishment, the Jaguar covered around 200 miles before its owner decided it was too good to keep mainly standing around in his garage and decided to part with it. Our vendor purchased the Daimler from our November 2022 sale but due to other interests has not had time to enjoy it, not driving it at all over the past year. The history file is extensive, with the current and previous V5Cs, photos of the car prior to its restoration, sales brochures and servicing and maintenance records back to when it was new. There's also the original owner's handbook and Heritage Certificate. 41,371 recorded miles
