Daimler SP250 old V8 power
A car now considered to be a many years ahead of its time.
Lightweight V8 power, lightweight plastic body. Loads of fun
One from last years holiday up north at Beamish ..These two having fun driving around in this lovely Daimler Bus ..
Heads turn as a white 1955 Daimler Conquest, PCR 896, cruises up and down High Street during the Broadway Car Show.
A princely, or actually a kingly 1908 Daimler produced in England and powered by a silent sleeve-valved 9.5 liter engine capable of 75 MPH (imagine that on 1908 roads) and outfitted with a phaeton body of a style known as Roi des Belges, as it was first chosen by the King of Belgium in 1901, and remained in form for a number of years. The car is better than new in it's pristine restoration, and comes with a gallon of brass cleaner and a dozen rags..........just kidding.

The Daimler SP250 sports car was built in Coventry from 1959 to 1964. It was the last car to be launched by Daimler before its parent company, the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA), sold it to Jaguar Cars in 1960.
This classic 1963 Daimler SP250, 805 HRY, was on show at Gloucester Goes Retro on 23 August 2025.

Wonderful example. I was out taking pictures in the nearby forest, but I had to take a picture of this Series 1.
Production: 1 of circa 13.000 (1936-1940).
There is a definite resemblance between the Steyr 55 – affectionately known as ‘Baby’ – and the Volkswagen Beetle. In fact, Ferdinand Porsche, who later designed the Beetle, worked at Steyr between 1929 and 1930, but he was not involved in the development of Steyr’s ‘people’s car’. Its design was officially attributed to Karl Jenschke.
The Steyr 50 was launched in 1936, the same year as the Beetle. It was followed two years later by the more powerful 55.
The Austrian Steyr factory originally produced armaments but started developing cars and tractors around World War I. It merged with Austro-Daimler-Puch in 1924 to create Steyr-Daimler-Puch, which produced a diverse range of vehicles after World War II, encompassing cars, lorries, buses and all-terrain vehicles. The different divisions were split at the end of the 1980s and in 1998 the Canadian automotive supplier Magna took over the motorcar division.
Magna-Steyr currently develops and assembles on behalf of many large motor manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler and Fiat.
