We are very pleased to offer this lovely 1969 Daimler 250 V8 four door saloon today. They always seem to be perceived as the poor relation to the Jaguar 3.8 MKII in today's market place and we believe that this reputation is totally unjustified as the V8 engine is a wonderful unit and the driving characteristics of the car can arguably be said to be much better than that of its more illustrious cousin.

This particular example is in excellent condition throughout and was first owned by a Dr. D.S. McClean who kept it until 1985, only completing 16,000 miles in that time. The second owner, who owned it until very recently has taken the mileage up to a warranted 55,000 miles from new and it is in lovely original condition throughout with a superb interior and we are informed that it drives extremely well. This history file contains lots of paperwork, bills and receipts covering its ownership by these two gentlemen and it also has its correct tools.

This could easily be one of the best examples of this delightful model that you will find on the market anywhere.
