1964 Daimler 2.5 Litre 3 SPEED AUTOMATIC 4D SEDAN

I will not respond to “Is this still available” The car is located at Modbury Heights.
With the factory fitted twin SU carburettors, the engine developed 140 horsepower and the Daimler could reach nearly 180 kph, performance which was accompanied by a lovely V8 exhaust note through the twin pipes. Most Daimler 2.5 V8s also came with Borg-Warner’s excellent T35 automatic transmission that worked well with the engine’s characteristics.

The Daimler 2.5 V8 had a warm, traditional ambience with a walnut veneer dashboard with full instrumentation, an adjustable split bench front seat, lush carpets, and West of England headlining. This Daimler came with leather upholstery.

Looking at it dispassionately, you would logically buy a Daimler 2.5 V8 saloon over its Jaguar Mk2 stablemate. After all, the Daimler boasted a V8 engine compared to the Jaguar’s 2.4/3.4/3.8 straight six, was finished to higher level of luxury, and there were far fewer made, less than 18,000 in the case of the Daimler compared to almost 84,000 Jaguars.

That has made the Daimler great value in the classic car market, especially with good examples around, such as this 1964 car.
