SUMMARY
A delightful 2.5-litre Daimler fresh to market after having been in the present family ownership for the last 26 years.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced in October 1967, the V8-250 was a minor facelift of the long-running 2.5 V8 saloon
- Differences were minor; slimline bumpers and over-riders, negative-earth electrics, an alternator instead of a dynamo, padded door cappings, reclinable split-bench front seats and a heated rear window
- Finished in British Racing Green with a superb and original tan Interior
- Fresh to market after having been in the present family ownership for the last 26 years and with just three previous keepers
- The recorded mileage of 58,867 miles at the time of viewing is believed to be genuine
- A full, engine-out, body refurbishment was carried out some years ago with minor paint imperfections now showing that if rectified will lift the Daimler to another level
- Recently presented for an MOT inspection, passing without advisories
- Accompanied by a comprehensive history file including a photographic record of the refurbishment, previous invoices and MOT Certificates, and an original V8-250 handbook
- An impressive Daimler that is worthy of your early inspection and thoughtful consideration
