Daimler SP 250 Dart body-off restored condition, only 2.814 kms afterw 1963
General description :
A concourse condition 1963 Daimler SP250 Dart is now available. It recently has been the subject of a complete body-off restoration by a well-known Dutch specialist. Really nothing was omitted during the restoration, even the underbody has been powder-coated. The sublime bodywork is as straight as an arrow and the body panels fit snuggly. The chrome work is splendid. The engine has been overhauled by a well-known Dutch Jaguar specialist and is as good as new. The divine 2.5 V8 is mechanically sound and in perfect working order and of course this is the original, matching numbers, engine. The thorough overhaul included the rear axle, the differential, suspension, brakes as well as attention to the cars` interior. The whole restoration process has been documented with many photo`s. The linen red claret soft-top matches the leather trim perfectly and compliments the fantastic Gun Metal Grey finish. It also has 72-spoke chrome wire wheels, wooden dashboard, stainless steel exhaust system and a Halda tripmaster. Since its restoration the car has only done an additional 2,814 km. We seldom have the opportunity to be able to offer a Daimler Dart in such splendid top condition! We believe it is probably the best Dart on the market!

About Daimler
Daimler was an independent British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in London by H. J. Lawson in 1896. To secure the name they bought the right to the use of the Daimler name simultaneously from Gottlieb Daimler and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. Britain's oldest car manufacturer was purchased by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in 1910 after numerous ownership arrangements.
Under BSA era they produced some of the most outrageous luxury cars such as low-chassis Daimler double-six 50hp, commercial vehicles, and military vehicles including tanks and a four-wheel-drive armoured scout car, nicknamed Dingo (WWII).
Postwar Daimler's most significant achievement came in the form of so called Turner engines, when Ed Turner, head of the automotive division, designed a series lightweight hemi head Daimler 2.5 & 4.5 Litre V8 Engines.
In May 1960, the Daimler business was purchased from BSA by Jaguar that was looking for the manufacturing facilities. This eventually led to Daimler becoming just a badge engineered jaguar.
The real tragedy is that Jaguar complitely failed to use the potential of Turner's hemi engines, that in all ernest were superior to Jaguar's XK design. Just imagine, if E-type had been introduced with the 4.5 light alloy v8 in 1961, what a rocket ship that would have made!
