Re: non starting la10
Don't want to appear a smartass but did SU ever make a 1" Carb? I thought the smallest they made was inch and quarter the H1 in early 1930's form, Morris 8 etc the one with the bowl on a cast arm, if I recall correctly. Burlens are the font of all knowledge SU, their website will help with all ...

Re: SP250 headlamp wiring
Chris I would start by looking for somewhere in the loom where the dip and main beam wiring could be swapped round in error, I dont know the wring diagram for the SP250, though I do have a wall chart somewhere, perhaps at the bullet connector you refer to, so the headlamps are incorrectly lit, not t...

Re: 1962 Daimler SP250 - Colorado, USA
Made a respectable $31,250 just under £24,000, seems the market is perking up, perhaps. Syd

Re: What kind of fuel were they using??
Fantastic detail in your record Hans, a remarkable record and shows how the SP can perform, of course it does depend on who is driving, you are clearly a very considerate driver, if you use a heavy right foot you will pay the price but you have proved with consideration very good results are possibl...

Re: 104 Sportsman Tyres
The cost of tyres for older cars is hefty issue, it put an end to my getting my 15 on the road at £240 a time, £1200 a set its a challenge to justify when the market value of the car is so low, it certainly made me think and as tyres are a vital safety issue you cannot mess about with them they have...

Re: Alternators
Just a point worth considering, the older alternators need a control box as Spar says, they were fitted to many cars including some V8 250's, in general they work fine and are reliable, but the later alternators were of much better design, do not need a control box because it is built in and they ar...

Re: H&H Auction 13 March 2024
That is very disappointing for all of us who own similar cars, but realistically where the market is. If you are in the market to buy it has to be a good time to negotiate a good deal with vendors whilst prices are depressed. I suspect we are in a "not an important purchase" or "not a...
