Description
Estimated Price: £9,000 - £11,000
- Jaguar's acquisition of Daimler in 1960 also brought with it their exquisite, Ed Turner-designed V8 engine. By installing this 2,548cc 'hemi' into the Mk2 body shell, Jaguar hoped to create a more exclusive, upmarket car that would appeal to Daimler's more traditional client base
- Otherwise identical to the Jaguar Mk2, it featured all round disc brakes, independent front suspension and a Panhard rod-located live rear axle. With 140bhp and 155lb/ft of torque on tap from its magnificently smooth and sonorous V8, the Daimler was capable of 115mph
- This handsome example was registered new by Steels of Bristol Ltd and it's accompanied by the original service book and host of previous MOT certificates with some dating back to the late 1970s
- Smartly presented here in Opalescent Silver Grey with red leather, the interior appears original except perhaps for the headlining and is all the better for it, the rich 1960s leather scent being near impossible to replicate
- Recent maintenance includes the fuel tank removed and deep cleaned, fuel lines flushed and attention to the front brakes
- Although the car is MOT and tax-exempt, the car was treated to an MOT giving peace of mind to any potential purchaser.
- Currently displaying just over 40,000 miles on the odometer, this would make a great entry level classic at about half the cost of the equivalent Mk2 Jaguar
