Description
Estimated Price: £7,000 - £10,000
- An elegant and rare four-seater Drophead Coupé, powered by Daimler’s smooth 2½-litre straight-six OHV engine
- Introduced in 1938, the DB18 combined refined performance with Daimler’s renowned engineering quality and build standards
- Equipped with the desirable four-speed pre-selector transmission and fluid flywheel, recently professionally refurbished
- The subject of an older restoration and subsequently re-registered with the DVLA in 1979, suggesting considerable history
- Finished in Light Grey Blue over Dark Blue with blue upholstery; front seats nicely retrimmed, with the rears believed to be original
- Recently recommissioned following dry storage, including a gearbox overhaul and brake adjustment; engine starts readily, runs smoothly and revs freely
- The three-position hood operates correctly, although it is currently not watertight; an opportunity to further smarten an already appealing example
- This charming coachbuilt Daimler is presented ready for further enjoyment and development
- Your early inspection is welcomed and encouraged to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer.
