Here we have a 1968 Daimler 2.5 V8 Saloon, Automatic in Gold. It has had just two previous owners in 53 years. It has had one very meticulous, considerate owner for most of it's life who has written down in great detail every bit of work it has ever had done. He kept a diary on this vehicle and it's many pages long, along with diagrams and every attention to detail from 1971! It was very clearly his pride and joy and I have pictured all the paperwork we have.

It has been dry stored for many years and will need some re-commissioning. It starts up straight away and we have taken for a short drive, the engine, gearbox etc all operate as they should. My only complaint would be a light leak of power steering fluid.

Looking around the car - considering it's about to have it's 53rd birthday the bodywork looks pretty good, expect there to be the odd blemish or signs of previous paintwork but overall the bodywork looks great for it's age and I have poked my head underneath and it looks like a solid vehicle.

The leather seats are in good condition for the age too. If you wanted the interior back to it's previous glory expect do some varnishing here and there and replace the carpets (you can get easily fit carpets for these on eBay for £200).

Paperwork wise - I have already mentioned the piles of docs we have and we also have the full V5.

The mileage is showing 23,000 but it's true mileage is just 61,000. The previous owner has documented that it had a new clock on 17th September 1971 and has even mentioned who did it.

Going through all the diaries etc has been a joy and this beautiful appreciating classic is well worth a bid.

We will be starting this at 99p with no reserve so grab yourself a bargain!

If you have any questions or wish to view the vehicle don't hesitate to contact us, we are happy to help.

As mentioned it needs recommissioning so I'd recommend transporting it away so please have that in mind or potentially organised before bidding. You are also bidding to buy not to have the vehicle 'looked at'. I obviously expect you to check the vehicle before you take it but not to do any mechanical work on our premises.

Only bid on this vehicle if you have the intention of actually picking it up. I cannot stress enough that we will not tolerate no contact or people not turning up.

If you have less than 10 feedback please contact us before bidding otherwise your bid WILL be removed. Genuine buyers only! Please only bid if you intend on buying this vehicle or paying for it before delivery. People that don't show up or don't make contact will have a case opened against them.

Also make contact within 24 hours to arrange collection. If we have not heard from you within 48 hours we will re-list the vehicle.

Feel free to check out our feedback record. We sell vehicles to lots of happy customers every month and you can bid with confidence knowing that we pride ourselves on our accurate descriptions.

Happy bidding :-)
