Description Daimler 250 V8
Registration YNP 14G
Year 1969
Colour Beige
Engine size 2,548 cc
Chassis No. P1K5564BW

Dating from the last year of production, this 1969 250 V8 has had just four local owners from new, the third of whom owned it from 1987 until 2003 when it was acquired by the current vendor. He treated the car to new brake calipers all round (uprated Coopercraft units at the front) and a new exhaust system. It has since been in regular use and has completed two trips to the Le Mans 24-Hour race, four up, with no problems whatsoever. Said to be in generally good order throughout and to drive very well indeed, it is taxed for 11 months and has an MOT until September 2009.

The indicated mileage of 68,832 is warranted genuine and is backed up by most old MOTs back to 1986 and a fully stamped up service book from new until 1977 (at 50,406 miles) when it was serviced no fewer than 18 times (an average service interval of just 2,800 miles). Complete with all its original handbooks, it is still fitted with its original Ecko radio set and accompanying operating manual. Altogether a good honest car with a known history from new that has always lived in the Worcestershire area.

1969 Daimler 250 V8

Guide Price: £8,000 to £10,000

Registration No:  YNP 14G

Mileometer:  72,515

Chassis No:  P1K5564BW

MOT:  Exempt

Colour:  Ascot Fawn

The 1969 Daimler 250 V8 offered here was subject to a restoration, including a bare metal respray, about twelve years ago, with a DVD to show this. The vendor purchased the car 10 years ago, and in that time he has also improved the car with a rear brake overhaul, costing £1,500 at 72,000 miles. A stainless steel exhaust, reconditioned PAS, prop-shaft bearing, and front brakes at 69,000 miles cost £3,000. A carb and cylinder-head overhaul at 69,000 miles cost £1,200, and a reconditioned starter and a tyre at 68,500miles cost £150.

The car is said to run and drive well, and the restoration work has held up well. There is a good amount of paperwork and history with the car, that shows just how well it has been looked after and loved over the years. The Daimler V8 Saloons are now becoming popular and prices are starting to rise, but they still represent excellent value compared to the Jaguar Mk II.
