1935 Daimler Straight 8 Limousine by Windovers

During 1935 Daimler introduced an entirely new engine that was revolutionary at the time. The high performance 3.5 litre Straight Eight achieved a maximum timed speed at Brooklands in excess of 90mph and motoring for the owner driver was set to rapidly improve.

This Daimler Straight Eight was first registered on 29-6-1935 and fitted with a Limousine body by Windovers. There is a buff log book present in the history file from 1947.

Used regularly and in full working order throughout, the history file tells us this Daimler had a full restoration in the mid 1970's and her only modification from period was the fitting of an electric water pump. We know this car handles and drives really well and is an absolute head turner wherever she goes. It is an extremely rare model that was bought in the day mostly by the Royal household during the 1930's and early 1940's and is regarded as one of the most collectable of the pre World War 2 Daimlers. A significant part of British motoring history this car is a fantastic investment opportunity, as well as a pleasure to own and drive, underlined by the fact that less than 10 similar cars worldwide are believed to remain. In generally good order throughout and with the benefit of occasional seats (which would benefit from some light restoration) the car can be driven from the sale.

The vendor also has some rare spare parts for the car which can be acquired by separate arrangement post sale.

Sensibly guided and here to be sold, what a chance to own such a special and significant piece of British motoring history.
