Re: 1962 Daimler SP250 - Oregon, USA

I suspect that there are actually quite a few non-standard (if that worries you) parts, I have not looked in any great detail but apart from the ones you mention - the mesh on the air intake by the windscreen is incorrect, wrong front over-riders, headlamp surrounds look a bit odd (too deep?) and wr...

Re: 1939 DE27 for sale

Sold today for £3937 (have not checked but assume with the odd figure that this includes commission).

Re: Daimler V8

Re last post - If an A series suggest you keep clear unless the chassis has been upgraded to B spec. - not sure I would agree, but also not sure that this would apply as I don't think the original post is about an SP.

H&H Auction 13 March 2024

Just a general post - of the 6 Daimler's in the H&H Auction on 13 March 2024 - only 1 sold (a 1971 Sovereign), seems to confirm either that there is a general downturn in interest in these age of cars, lack of potential buyers, or guide/reserves set too high - I did not watch the auction and the...

Re: SP250 cooling

Just to add to the options that were available at one time, I purchased 2 stainless tanks (I think they came from Barry) many years ago, both are still doing good service. The pressure cap part of the original rusted out tank now forms part of an expansion cooling tank for a friends Rolls Royce Merl...

Re: 1924 Lanchester 21HP

Just an update, if anyone is interested, I have checked and this one was 'Passed', not sure if any bids but whatever presumably did not reach the reserve - guide was £20-25k (maybe the lower figure was the reserve).

Re: Daimler mascot.

Basically they can be used/fitted on any make or model of car, I have seen them on Alvis, MG, Riley etc. and were available until the mid-60s I think, so if you wanted a mascot on your car and thought an eagle might look nice you could.

GRILLE

This may be of interest, not sure what model its from (50's or earlier), may be a useful item if they do not become available often and/or you need one, from the pictures its seems to be in reasonable shape with a couple of imperfections that I suspect would straighten out fairly easily.
