1968 DAIMLER V8 250

1968 Daimler V8 250 (Jag Mk2)

Distinguished Ownership, lots of History.

This older restoration – was supplied by Victoria Garage of Weston Super Mare to Alum Glass Ltd on 6th February, 1968. By the 1970’s it was in the possession of Mr W.G. Lloyd and in 1977 it was inherited by his son-in-law Jeremy Chichester (the nephew of Round-the-World-Yachtsman *Sir Francis Chichester) who eventually passed it on to his son Mathew Chichester. There are several family letters in the History file including one from Giles Chichester (former MEP & Vice President of the European Parliament) the son of Sir Francis, who says that by 1968 his Father had given up driving, but recalls seeing the Daimler at his cousin‘s address.

Comes with lots of service and restoration history. The original Daimler Service book is present along with an abundance of bills going back decades confirming regular maintenance. There is also an impressive collection of old road tax discs from the 1970’s to present day.

The Daimler had a full photographic and extensive engine rebuild in late

90’s (following a Motorway mishap) by Bristol Restorations at a cost of over £3000, and still indicates textbook oil pressure, 40 psi minimum when cruising, 20 psi idling when hot. To be critical it sounds a little tappety when cold but this disappears when hot. Until recently it was used reliably by the former owner as his daily means of transport. The auto box is functioning but top gear changes above 30 mph which is a bit late, may need adjustment.

The bodywork was restored about 20 years ago and has benefited from a recent professional respray. From 5 feet away it looks like glass finish but there are some microscopic imperfections as it was not a bare shell repaint. The Brightwork is exceptional, and the original leather interior in Suede Green is free of cracks and tears. The carpets, doorcards and headlining are very presentable, all wood has been re-lacquered. Tyres all good with brand new spare.

The Daimler comes with factory-fitted Power Steering, a most desirable optional fitment on these big cars, so no culture shock for those used to more modern vehicles. A polished Motalita woodrim steering wheel has been added which gives a very sporty feel to the drive.

The original owner’s toolkit is complete, a collector’s item in its own right and a sure sign of careful ownership, the large tools in the boot are also present.

We have driven this car on the motorway for 70 miles and there is no tendency to overheat and it pulls well.. The power brakes are very positive as is the steering.

Comes with original Daimler Wallet containing owner’s handbook in mint cond. Daimler service book, dealer list, lubrication chart, wiring diagram. There is a full Daimler Workshop Manual, Impressive collection of 31 years of road tax discs, previous MOT’s, National press article about the car (framed) and large History File with Heritage Certificate (confirming matching numbers) Baseball cap with “Daimler” logo. New MOT will be supplied.

Historic Info

The Daimler V8 250 (or 2½-litre V8) was a four-door saloon produced in Coventry, England by Daimler. Launched late in 1962. It was essentially a luxury version of the Jaguar Mark 2 fitted with Daimler’s 2.5-litre V8 engine and drive-train, a Daimler fluted grille and rear number plate surround, distinctive wheel trims, badges, and interior details including a split-bench front seat from the Jaguar Mark 1 and a black enamel steering wheel. Special interior and exterior colours were specified. The Daimlers were accordingly priced higher than the Jaguar Mk2’s. Some cars were fitted with power-assisted steering but it was optional.

Automatic transmission was standard. As a result of being built with the unit body of the Jaguar Mark 2 the 2.5 litre saloon became the first Daimler motor car without a separate frame. The 2.5 V8 was the first Jaguar designed car to have the Daimler badge. A casual observer, though not its driver, might mistake it for a Jaguar Mark 2. The Daimler’s stance on the road was noticeably different from a Mark 2.

*Sir Francis Charles Chichester KBE (17 September 1901 – 26 August 1972), A record breaker in the air and at sea, a true British trailblazer, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for becoming the first person to sail single-handed around the world by the clipper route, and the fastest circumnavigator, in nine months and one day overall.

For the ceremony, the Queen used the sword used by her predecessor Queen Elizabeth I to knight the adventurer Sir Francis Drake, the first Englishman with his crew to complete a circumnavigation. His yacht Gipsy Moth IV was preserved alongside the Cutty Sark at Greenwich.

1973 TRIUMPH GT6 Mk III

We are delighted to offer this fantastic driving, genuine and largely original Triumph GT6 MKIII onto the market. The HKC 620L has covered 94,000 miles from new, backed up with MOT certificates dating back to 1977 and is a car that can really be used, driven and enjoyed with absolute confidence. We originally took the GT6 in part exchange against a Triumph TR6 and drove the car to North Yorkshire from the Lake District. Before even marketing the car, it sold to one of our regular customers and to prove reliability further, we drove the car to South Yorkshire faultlessly. HKC 620L has since been covering low, local mileage and has now returned to us in part exchange against an Austin Healey 3000MKII.

This GT6 was supplied new with rare rear seat and spent its early life in Liverpool. We have MOT records at 16764 miles in Liverpool 5 in 1977 and by 1978 the car was near Warrington. During the early 1980's the GT6 was in Widnes and from 1986 Wigan, later Bolton, really finding its way around the North West. In 1989 the car moved to South Wales before a return to the North West in 1993 when the car was in Eccles, Manchester. The Triumph was taken off the road in Manchester in 1996 with a mileage of 72,693 and was back on the road again by 2005 when the car returned to Wales but this time staying North. Prior to briefly being with us in North Yorkshire, the GT6 was up in the Lakes and has since spent time in South Yorkshire. Now with 94,000 miles recorded, with the support of a good maintenance file and many MOT certificates, we can see this is a superbly maintained, largely original car that is capable of regular, reliable use and suits all year round driving.

HKC 620L presents very well with a stunning paint finish having being treated to a recent full re-paint. The bodywork is in lovely order and boasts clean, straight panels. The chrome work is original and whilst not gleaming as new, appears presentable and really highlights this has never been left to deteriorate like so many example did. The upholstery is very well presented with smart carpets, lovely clean seats, door cards, headlining and dashboard. On lifting the carpets, original Yellow floor pans can be seen and this again shows what a good, genuine car this is. On the road the GT6 is quite simply brilliant. The straight six engine has lots of power, pulls superbly with no smoke, good oil pressure and the gearbox is sharp, crunch free and the overdrive works perfectly. The GT6 handles exceptionally well and is lots of fun on the road. The car has recently been serviced and is ready to drive and enjoy. This is not a show winner, but a smart, very original car that is as honest as one could find.

1997 ASTON MARTIN VIRAGE VOLANTE - LHD - NICHOLAS MEE & COMPANY

Brackenbury House, 158-160 Goldhawk Road,London,W12 8HJ

1997 ASTON MARTIN VIRAGE VOLANTE - LHD

A superb example of the Virage Volante which, being built in 1997, is one of the last to be hand built at the Newport Pagnell works. 

This particular example is finished in a stunning Dark blue (Porsche Nachtblau Metallic) with Parchment hides piped blue. Dark blue carpets and the dark blue convertible hood, which is in excellent condition, finish this elegant and timeless colour scheme. In addition to the usual luxurious Virage Volante specification, this particular car is fitted with the OZ wheels commonly fitted to the 6.3 litre cars. Being a late built model, the car also benefits from the 4 speed ‘Torqueflite’ automatic transmission (rather than the 3 speed version fitted to earlier cars), later and more comfortable seats and individual dashboard instrumentation. 

First registered in Holland where it formed part of a significant collection of classic cars, this car was imported into the UK in 2012 where is it was UK registered. Also at that time, our own Aston Martin Heritage workshops carried out some cosmetic and mechanical works and subsequently this car visited the Aston Martin Works for a major service and commissioning during the summer of 2015. Our recent pre-sales inspection confirms that this low mileage example is in excellent order throughout. 

Presented in excellent condition, this car is now ready to be used for comfortable ‘roof down’ cruising during this summer season and will be supplied with a fresh service, MOT and 12 months warranty.
