Car was at auction 5/17
www.brightwells.com/classic-motoring/general-information/classic-vintage-past-re ...

Auction description:
Lot number 68
Sale Price £12,500
Make & Model Daimler 2.5 V8 Saloon
Registration VAM 148D
Year 1966
Colour Gold
Engine Size 2,548 cc
Chassis No. 1A10526BW
Engine No. 7A11102
V5C; MOT June 2017 with no advisories; invoices etc

This particular V8 was delivered new to Christchurch, New Zealand, in May 1966 and was first owned by the Radford family who were to keep it right up until 1995. It then had one other owner before it was shipped back to England in 2011 where it has had two owners since.

The engine was rebuilt at around 81,000 miles in 1983 and the clock is now showing some 135,000 miles which is warranted correct and is backed up by a good history file, especially while in the 29-year care of the Radford family. Since arriving in the UK it has been treated to new tyres all round (including the spare), all new door, spat and boot rubbers, new front door cards, new ignition wiring and a new thermostat.

The vendor acquired the car in 2014 and found that the oil pressure was low so he has had the bottom end completely rebuilt which has restored it to good health. He has also fitted a new exhaust system and fixed the heater which was previously not working. He states that all the instruments work as they should except the clock. Looking wonderful in gold with a red leather interior and gleaming chrome, the car is said to be in good overall condition and to drive well with an MOT until 28th June 2017 with no advisories recorded.

Altogether a lovely old Daimler with few owners that is far better preserved than most cars of its era thanks to the benign New Zealand climate in which it spent the first 45 years of its life.

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?
