Subject to a complete engine overhaul by Geoff Page Racing costing in excess of £20,000 in 2022

A very original, well-maintained example finished in the attractive Opalescent Silver Blue over a Dark Blue leather interior

The recipient of refurbishment to several areas of the bodywork in recent years

Finished in the beautiful combination of Opalescent Silver Blue with a Dark Blue interior, this well cared-for and tastefully presented V8 250 appears in excellent order following a comprehensive engine and gearbox overhaul performed during 2022. The work was entrusted to Geoff Page Racing, a specialist well-known for its preparation of all manner of historic racing cars from the 1960s onwards, including Formula One, Can-Am, Saloon Car and Group B rally machinery.

Geoff Page Racing stripped the engine and, after steam-cleaning and bead-blasting many of the parts, performed machining work including refacing the block up to +0.030in, reboring the cylinders, regrinding the crank and recutting the valves. The engine was then reassembled with new +0.20in pistons, valves, valve guides and springs, and +0.010in main bearings. The treatment of the gearbox was similarly thorough, and the total spent with Geoff Page Racing came to £23,235. Since 2023, the Daimler has covered less than 500 miles, and despite being exempt from testing has been MOTed annually. Its current certificate shows no advisories and is valid until June, 2026. The car is also offered with the V5C, several invoices from Geoff Page Racing and performance car specialist Alan Collins including the bottom-end mid-assembly and welding repairs near one wheel arch.
