Introduction
Peter
The car still retains much of its original features that have degraded over time. The blue laid out on the car looks to be original but is in a condition that will need a full bare-metal respray.
If you are hungry to start a new project this year then this could be the one for you. We know there will be someone out there who will take the Daimler off Peter’s hands and get straight to work on putting this car right.
We would love to see how the new owner restores the car and cannot wait to keep everyone updated.
All mechanical parts look to be in good condition and a few weeks / months work will see them in a great condition to be put back together again. Peter has mentioned to us that he is waiting on a few more parts such as the rocker arms and carburettors and we will be updated in the near future.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Peter, the owner, having photographed the vehicle.

Good Day Fellas,
Didn’t think that I would find another New Drop Head Coupe so close to home.!
Had my car about five or so years, needing work, however I have managed to have the odd “play”.
Have been a member of the DLOC for some time, and have had a fair bit of experience
of the DJ range. My car is sixth produced after yours. It should shape up ok. Let me know of any help
you require, or advice.
Bless you both! Melvyn,……………………….in Rugby.

E-bay.” £26 +£3 postage I have lots of spares engines heads carbs etc. my phone number is 07508714188. I would like to have more information on your car, as people are always ringing me looking for these models Harold Wilson
Hi Harold thankyou for your message.i think I have most parts to rebuild the engine but it is reassuring to know you can help if any parts are required.i purchased the car a month ago with all intentions to restore the car back to its former glory.after reassessing my situation with storage and other projects I can only let this pass me by to someone who will have the time and space to bring this lovely car back to life.i purchased the car from a really nice gentleman who lives just round the corner from me in Hertfordshire.it had been in his garage for many years.kind regards peter
Hi Harold,
My name is owen thompson and I’m the new owner of this Drop Head Coupe. I’m going to need somebody parts to complete this build particularly a replacement front skirting which sits behind the front bumper. Can you recommend any contacts?
I have one in need of repair 07508714188 Harold
Dear Harold Wilson,
Is it possible to mail me your email adres?
I can read that you have experience concerning the Daimlers.
E few weeks ago, a Daimler arrived at my workshop in Flanders, Belgium.
I would like to have some more information about the car; most likely you can help me out.
I think it is a Daimler New Drophead coupe, with matching engine number.
It is the 3-seat cabrio with Wilson pre-selector and 100HP engine I think.
The car is in decent shape and complete, expect 2 parts on the rear bumper I think.
I would very much like more info about the car (history, numbers made, etc…)
If it is a original Daimler; than I would like mail foto’s so you and others can have a look.
Thanks very much for reply.
Yours sincerely.
Vincent
Has this one the pre-select Wilson gearbox with fluid flywheel, or is it the autpmatic..?
Kind regards
George Zdanko
Hi George thankyou for your enquiry .this has the pre- select gearbox as you will see the chrome selector on the right side of the steering column.its shows in one of the pictures.regards peter
Type in here…… Many thanks for this… I have the book, it’s a good read and I do recommend it.
