104 Sportsman Tyres
Does anyone have any words of advice regarding the replacement of tyres on my 104 Sportsman? Currently they wear 245/70 R16 107S (I’ve no idea what the last four characters mean) I see from a road test that the original cross-ply tyres were 650/16 and it would be useful to know what the circumferenc...

Re: 1957 Daimler 104 Sportsman
What a lovely car. The interior looks nice. You could restore the original leather rather than have it retrimmed Thank you and apologies for the delay in replying.

Re: Daimler DB18 Hooper body Empress line Barn Find Restoration Project
Going off on a tangent I was interested in this picture
Have I been missing something or is this a rarity?
I have never before noticed the Daimler 'D' in the centre of the tripod despite owning a Barker SS which I thought would have been similarly equipped.Have I been missing something or is this a rarity?

Re: parts etcetera Daimler Regency chassisnr DF306
Good reply from migray. When looking for the part numbers I came across this Lucas part number and picture list which others might find interesting https://www.cecbrighton.co.uk/Joseph%20Lucas-switches-%20Section%20%27Q%27.pdf Is there somewhere suitable on the Forum where it posted so as to be more...

Re: 1957 Daimler 104 Sportsman
Latest progress report. I still have not driven the car! I want to do a proper job in making the car reliable, safe and generally the best I can do but I seem to be stuck in the ‘While We Are Here’ syndrome. It started with a faulty valve so off came the head and WWAH sent away for machining and fet...

Re: Daimler Barker Special Sports LLJ 327
So sorry to have taken so long to respond John. Here’s a tale about my beloved Barker. After I sold it in 1980 I lost track of it until it came up for auction at Bonhams about 10 years ago. It was a nice summers day so I decided on a trip out to see it during one of the viewing days. When I arrived ...

Re: Daimler distributor unknown application
Thanks Richard, most interesting.
As the distributor appears not to suit a Daimler I won’t deprive an Austin Healy owner of treasure.

Re: Daimler distributor unknown application
So close to my 104 Sportsman!
The DM6A matches but does anyone know what the remaining three set of numbers refer to and are the two distributors interchangeable?

Re: Daimler distributor unknown application
I’m afraid I can’t answer your question Mike but your kind offer raises an interesting point. There are lots of us who own or have owned a Daimler and have unused parts just hanging around on shelves and boxes doing nothing whereas there are others (ie me!) desperately looking for parts. I wonder if...
