1968 Daimler V8 250 for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.5) based on 197 votes
This Daimler V8250 is the perfect vehicle for someone capable of welding work. or someone with access to bodywork facilities. This good driving car with strong engine (oil pressure 38lb cold at tick over. 25lb at fully warm at tick over and 40lb fully warm running at 2500-3000 revs) and gearbox has come from a deceased estate and is offered into the market with no MOT or warranty.  
In 2001 the Daimler was sold for £8950 by a well know classic car dealer in Scotland. A £8950 was the price for a very high quality example. and in similar condition in today's market this car would be between £15000-£20000. Since 2001 the Daimler has covered several thousand miles but unfortunately has been stood for the past 5 years or so. We collected the car on behalf of the family and have spent around £600 getting the car running. fitting a new battery. various new ignition items such as spark plugs. points. condenser . cleaning the distributor cap and rotor arm. cleaning out the fuel system and as a result have been able to test drive the car. We can confirm the Daimler will only require light mechanical re-commissioning but will require extensive welding work in order to be roadworthy. The bodywork is generally poor and will benefit from repair and a repaint.  
Retaining a smart largely original leather interior. this car has real potential. The interior has aged well with good quality leather. good door cards and smart wood and headlining. With the bodywork and paintwork carried out this would make a lovely Daimler V8. The car comes with a good history file with MOT's back to 1987. some receipts including a gearbox rebuild in 1998 and some letters from previous owners.
We are starting the bidding low and a sensible reserve has been set. Viewings are welcome. we are happy to start the car and it can be viewed on a ramp if necessary. A deposit will be required within 24 hours of the auction ending and the balance paid within 2 weeks. We can transport the vehicle if required. please contact us for a quote of you intend to bid.
