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.
