Hammer value £6,300
Description Daimler V8 250
Registration OBL 420F
Year 1967
Colour Old English White
Engine size 2,548 cc
Chassis No. 1K1083BW

This 1967 V8 was purchased in 1987 from a couple who lived in Lockerbie. Although running, it required extensive renovation which included much bodywork repair and a repaint. The engine is believed to be the original and the speedo is showing some 109,000 miles which is believed to be genuine.

The interior was retrimmed in the correct coloured leather in 1998, with extensive body restoration being carried out in 2004. A comprehensive brake upgrade was also undertaken in 2005 using Coopercraft cylinders and new discs. Power steering has also been fitted, a useful addition which makes the car much more pleasant to drive around town.

On offer from a deceased estate, there is sadly no further paperwork to give more information about the car's history. It hasn't run for some months and its MOT is due to expire just a few days before the sale. It will therefore need a modicum of recommissioning before use and is being sold here with no reserve, so bid vigorously now or kick yourself for your hesitancy hereafter!
