Description from the seller
GENERAL:
Daimler - 250 V8 Saloon - 1968 Daimler MKII. In its current state it is an ideal car to monetize, by transporting personalities, events for cinema and weddings. As an interesting note about the model, the Daimler 250 V8 (based on the body of the iconic Jaguar Mk II) stood out for its lightweight alloy V8 engine designed by Edward Turner, which was considerably lighter than Jaguar's inline-six engine, giving it a higher weight distribution and a very balanced and smooth dynamic behavior.
CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA:
The bodywork was recently polished and now has a very intense shine. As it has many years, the paint shows defects from the passage of time and some marks, but it can be used perfectly in the state it is.
MECÁNICA:
Mechanically the car runs well both cold and warm, but it has many years without being used regularly, so it would be advisable to perform a thorough inspection and tune-up. Its automatic gearbox shifts smoothly and the eight-cylinder engine runs very smoothly, being at the time the highest-end unit. A recent underbody and lower-sides cleaning was done, addressing a bit of rust they had, so practically there is no rust to worry about.
INTERIOR:
It remains very original with its original upholstery, which is in good condition for use with some minor tears due to use and the passage of time. The interior woods will need a bit of restoration, as they are correct but worn from time and sunlight.
DOCUMENTACIÓN:
It has current ITV and can circulate without issues.
RECOGIDA:
The car is located in Madrid, Spain. If it is awarded we have 20 days of storage.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
