Lot details

Registration No: JUX 428D
Chassis No: 1A10068BW
MOT: Exempt

Pre-250 Daimler 2.5 V8 presented in the appealing combination of Maroon with Cream leather interior
Subject to extensive engine overhaul with Russ Carpenter to the tune of over £7,000
In current ownership the last 9 years

Supplied new to Majorie Joan Fraser of Auckland, New Zealand on 16th March 1966, this well-travelled Daimler remained in the Antipodes until being repatriated and first UK registered on 1st July 2013. Presented in the attractive combination of Maroon with contrasting Cream leather interior, the saloon entered the current ownership just over a year later. Entrusted to Daimler V8 guru Russ Carpenter in June 2015, the engine was treated to a thorough overhaul. The block was re-bored, the crank re-ground, camshaft re-profiled, tappet chest modified to eliminate rattle, pistons replaced, engine internals re-balanced, cam bearings and valve guides replaced with stainless steel valves for unleaded tolerance. The unit was then re-assembled with replacement ancillaries, the engine mounts replaced, radiator re-cored, a replacement stainless steel exhaust fitted, the distributor overhauled, carburettors and timing adjusted and more. These works totalled £7,139.29. More recently, the car benefitted from replacement Spax rear shock absorbers on 6th April 2022, with the front anti-roll bar and rear leaf springs being replaced that same month. Additionally, replacement front callipers were also installed to ensure the car was well-sorted. Regular maintenance including servicing has been undertaken where necessary, with the car looked after by Quest Brothers Classic Cars.

Included with the vehicle is a history file containing a copy of the New Zealand registration certificate from 1966 as well as a collection of invoices for works undertaken such as the engine overhaul. The V5C document is present which displays just one former UK keeper.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
