Designed to wean Daimler customers on to Jaguar product, the V8-250, produced by Daimler from 1967 to 1969, was an updated version of the 2.5-V8 Saloon introduced in late 1962. The V8-250 differs from the earlier 2.5-V8 in relatively small details: such as the 'narrow' bumpers (shared with the Jaguar 240/340), negative-earth electrical system, an alternator (instead of a dynamo) and twin air cleaners, one for each carburettor.
