The seller offers for sale this 1968 Daimler V8-250 Saloon, powered by a 2.5-liter V8 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. This elegant British saloon presents itself with a highly original character and still retains its original upholstery. The bodywork was recently polished, giving the car a strong visual shine, while the underside and lower side sections have recently received work to address corrosion areas. The seller states that the engine runs smoothly both cold and warm, and that the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly. The car has a valid ITV and can be driven, although the seller recommends a thorough inspection and tune-up due to limited regular use in recent years. With its stately design, V8 engine and refined appearance, this Daimler is well suited for private enjoyment, events, weddings or film-related use.
The Daimler V8-250 is a distinguished British saloon based on the Jaguar Mk2 platform, but fitted with Daimler’s smooth 2.5-liter V8 engine. This combination gave the model a unique character, blending compact executive styling with refined performance and a more exclusive Daimler identity. Produced during the 1960s, the V8-250 appealed to buyers looking for comfort, prestige and a quiet yet capable driving experience. Its wood-trimmed interior, graceful lines and refined V8 engine make it a charming alternative to more common classic saloons of the period. Today, the Daimler V8-250 is appreciated by enthusiasts for its elegance, usability and connection to traditional British luxury motoring.
