Introduction
Glyn Parry
The perfect combination of Jaguar's MK2 styling and dynamics with Daimler's wonderful new V8 engine - introducing this fantastic family owned since new example.
The Daimler 250 V8 was produced for seven years between '62 and '69. It was the first-ever Daimler car to be based on the Jaguar platform, with a unit-body and the last to use a Daimler engine after the company was bought by Jaguar in 1960.
The 250 emerged from Coventry as one of the finest cars of its era, the muscular engine complimented the curvaceous MK2 body perfectly.
This particular 250 V8 has been in the family since new, purchased by the current owner's dad at the London Motorshow, it was then passed down to Arthur in 2016. He's had the car resprayed in its original light maroon colour while maintaining the 250 V8's original character.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting the owner Arthur, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hi Arthur, another quick question for you. Does the car have power steering and can it run on unleaded petrol (E5) or does it need the lead additive?
Hi Morse, a quick reply yes to both.
Hi Arthur, she is absolutely beautiful and a credit to your family.
So on Tom’s point, has it had extensive repair work carried out and then also a respray for £7,000? Do you have any photographic evidence of the state of her before by any chance?
Many thanks
Gary
Hi Gary Do not have any before photos .It has had restoration which included the respray which it’s total cost about £27 000.We have all receipts and list of all work carried out. Arthur.
HI, love the car. I was reading through some of the documentation. It was mentioned in the text that the car had a £7,000 respray but I see bills for up to £26,000 with lots of metal work replaced. It sounds like the car was in a bad state, can you elaborate please?
Do you know if it is possible to fit rear seat belts as would want this when taking passengers in the back.
Anything else you want to add to the information available would be appreciated.
Best Regards
Tom
It needed some work so I decided to have it done properly at a very well know restoration garage.As for the seat belts do not know but sure someone would be able to fit them.
