SUMMARY
Fully restored in the past, this rare 4.2-litre Daimler Coupé from long term ownership is offered without Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- A rare and desirable Daimler 4.2 Coupé, one of 1,677 worldwide, which has been in a Collection since 1988
- Powered by the 285bhp, XK-derived, 4.2-litre, straight-six mated to a Borg-Warner 3-speed automatic
- Finished in Old English White, it was subject to a total body-off restoration in the 1990s, however it has been in storage since and will now need further attention
- At the same time, the car was retrimmed in black leather with matching black carpets
- Apart from its V5, there is no paperwork with the car. Our vendor believes that this was the 1977 London Motor Show (Motorfair) car but this is not confirmed
- With some recommissioning, this rare coupé could be very special indeed
