Daimler V8 250
British Classic
This Daimler was the best of several of these beautifully built cars. It was very smooth and quiet, and encouraged the calm, serene, polite style of driving, which we all enjoy at certain times. When in the mood, the right foot could be pushed into the Wilton, the gearbox would kick down and accompanied by a satisfying V8 burble, the car would surge forward in a most satisfying manner. The rear wheel arches, which would have originally been fitted with spats, were modified to the Coombes type. Compared to earlier Daimler built saloons this car was a bit of a revelation, the word acceleration did not seem to previously exist in the vocabulary of the Daimler designers!
