DESCRIPTION
The Daimler SP250 by Daimler in Coventry from 1959 to 1964. The SP250 was originally known as the Daimler Dart, but Daimler soon dropped the Dart name when threatened with legal action by Chrysler's Dodge division, and the car was then renamed the Daimler SP250.
It was launched at the 1959 New York Motor Show, with a fibreglass body, four-wheel Girling disc brakes, and a 2.5-litre Hemi-head V8 engine designed by Edward Turner. Jaguar bought Daimler in 1960, and were immediately concerned about the chassis flex. To address this they brought out the B-spec. version with extra outriggers on the chassis and a strengthening hoop between the A-posts. There were also other detail improvements, including an adjustable steering column.
This example is an original manual UK car first registered 17th May 1962 and shows just 4 former keepers.
This particular car was subject to a complete restoration in the 1990s and subject to a respray just 2 years ago along with the fitment of new chrome wire wheels and a stainless steel exhaust to ensure that it looks and runs as it should.
It has been well maintained and is presented with a superb history file. These Daimler SP250's have been an underrated and often only look classic for some time and are now starting to find traction in the market as great driving and great value British sports cars.
