Description

• Iconic Daimler V8 250 powered by the legendary 2.5-litre Daimler V8 designed by Edward Turner
• Can be considered an older professional restoration
• Comfortable automatic gearbox, ideal for relaxed classic driving
• Timeless Grey configuration with original interior

The Daimler V8 250 is regarded as one of the most refined British sports saloons of the 1960s, combining the elegant Jaguar Mk2 bodywork with Daimler’s exclusive V8 engine. The compact 2,548 cc engine designed by Edward Turner is renowned for its exceptional smoothness, distinctive sound and refined character.

This 1965 example can be considered an older professional restoration and presents itself with an authentic and honest appearance. The automatic transmission enhances the comfortable and luxurious character of this Daimler, making it ideal for long-distance touring and classic events.
