Daimlers for sale.

Daimler project for sale


After a decade or two we have decided to divest ourselves of our daimler projects. So we have a Daimler 2.5 liter V8 for sale complete with spare body and spares parts as a job lot. There are enough parts to have two restored cars with some spares left over.
I can be contacted thru this blog or Facebook I will then send you my phone number.

“Mrs Brown” ($5200)

2014 12 07 09 10 14“mrs Brown” was aquired in the mid 80’s from “Mrs Brown” and rin for several years as a a fully registed car. She had some damage to the RHS rear quarter where the owners son had let it go down the drive and run into the carport. The door was also damaged in the incident. The car drove well and was used in this condition for several years till it was mothballed. (cortec products used).

Engine and Tranmission

Transmission was rebuilt in our care. Engine ran well but was beguining to smoke on a trailing throttle. The engine was inhibited with A cortec inhibitor pack before shutting dow. It was last run last week. but has fuel pump issues. I would expect the brakes require some TLC as brake inhibitors were not used.
