Re: 104 Sportsman Tyres

Apologies for the delay in replying. Thank you everyone for your response. Most appreciated. The choice seems to be between Avons and Auburn (recommended by John Barlow who made the Majestic Special) Both these tyres are new to me as they are cross-ply sizes (650/16) but radial-ply construction. The...

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

Restoration is the route I want to take. I still haven't got the car back from recommissioning but when I do I shall set about it with ...

Re: Daimler DB18 Hooper body Empress line Barn Find Restoration Project

Going off on a tangent I was interested in this picture

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: 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.
