Finished in Carmen Red with a grey leather interior and chromed wire wheels, and fitted with a desirable Webasto full sunroof and original radio, this 1966 example is said to be in good overall condition. The Daimler is said to drive well, changing well through the gears and pulling up sharply when required. Locally owned for the last 30 or so years (13 of which with the current vendor), the Daimler has been MoTd annually until December 2024. We understand the Daimler will be driven to the auction by the vendor.

Offered with No Reserve, this is a tempting opportunity to buy a well engineered, V8-engined 1960s sporting saloon, for a very reasonable outlay.
