As one of Britain’s Oldest and Most Respected Luxury Motorcar Manufacturers, Daimler Earned the Royal Warrant to supplied Motor Cars to the British Royal Family in 1902. In 1956 under the ownership of BSA, the Newly Appointed Chief Executive, Edward Turner, a Legend of Motorcycle Design, was Tasked with Designing a New V8 Engine and of course, a Suitable Car to Install it in. The Daimler SP250, which was Daimler’s First Foray into the Sports Car Market, Featured an all Fibreglass Body mounted on a Chassis Reverse Engineered from the Triumph TR3, which when Fitted with the 2.5L V8 became one of the Fastest Sports Cars Available at the time.

After Jaguar’s Purchase of Daimler in 1960, Significant Upgrades were Undertaken to Vastly Improve the SP250’s Structural Rigidity, Resulting in a Far Superior, Tighter Driving Experience. This ‘B Spec’ 1963 SP250 has had Only 2 Owners over the Last 40 Years, with their Love and Attention to Detail Highlighted by the High Standard of Presentation, Finished in a Gleaming Deep Burgundy, Complemented by its Chrome Wire Wheels and Brightwork.

The Interior of the SP250 is Trimmed in Black Leather with Contrasting White Piping, it features a Period Correct Wood Rimmed Motolita Steering Wheel along with the standard Full Complement of Smiths Gauges and a Heater/Demister. The Weather Equipment includes a Tan Vinyl Hood Cover and Tonneau Cover, while the Soft Top is in Black Vinyl.

The Glorious 2.5 Litre Hemi V8 has Travelled Less Than 5000 miles since being Fully Reconditioned by Crankshaft Rebuilders in 2005, with the Small Capacity V8 Ideally Suited to the Lightweight Daimler, Happily Revving to a Red-line of 6,000 RPM with the Upgrade of a Scorcher Ignition for Added Trouble Free Motoring. The Significant History File, dating back to 2000, also Contains Receipts for Recent Suspension, Steering and Brake Rebuilds.
