Complete restoration in the early 1990’s

Used sparingly over the last fifteen years

This good 1968 Daimler V8 250, with an automatic gearbox, was the subject of a complete restoration in the early 1990’s when the colour was changed from green to this resplendent dark blue which has remained in good condition throughout. We are informed by the current owner that the car starts and drives well and looking at the MoT test certificate history, it has had very little use. In 1977, the speedometer was replaced after doing 37,365 miles, an old MoT test certificate from 1981 is reading 10,009 miles and in 2010 the mileage was 44,563 miles and since then it seems to have only completed a further 900 miles. The beige leather interior has, at some point, been re-connolised and requires some attention to return it to its former glory. This Daimler is supplied with a V5C registration document, an MoT test certificate which expires in April 2024 and a file containing invoices from the restoration in the early 90’s to 2007 including a few photographs and the original owner’s handbook with hand written notes showing when the speedometer was changed. The V8 250 was known for its combination of comfort, style, power and remains an iconic vehicle to this day.
