Daimler 250 V8 Saloon, 1968.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL:
Daimler - 250 V8 Saloon - 1968 Daimler MKII. In the current state it is an ideal car to monetize it, by transporting celebrities, events for cinema and weddings. As a piece of interest 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, giving it better 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 has 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 hot, but it has many years without being used regularly, so it would be advisable to have a thorough inspection and tune-up. Its automatic transmission shifts smoothly and the eight-cylinder engine runs very smoothly, being at the time the top-of-the-line unit. A check of the underbody and lower sides was recently performed, addressing some rust they had, so practically now there is no rust to worry about.

INTERIOR:
It remains very original with its original upholstery, which is in good used condition with some minor tears due to use and time. The interior woods will need a bit of restoration, as they are correct but worn from time and sunlight.

DOCUMENTACIÓN:
It has a valid ITV and can circulate without problems.

RECOGIDA:
The car is located in Madrid, Spain. In case it is won, 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.
