Re: 1969 Daimler V8-250 saloon

I am curious whether this is a later chassis number to mine (5746) as mine was registered 26th August 1969 and this was September 1969 but cars do sometimes stay in thee showroom for a while.

Re: V8 250 Restoration Next Steps

Exactly my thoughts.
Many of those sellers have know exactly where the car has been for whichever specified period of time. So like mine it was never lost.
I think I garaged it in the late 1990s.

Re: V8 250 Restoration Next Steps

Someone may call it a barn find but I would disagree because it was never lost.

Re: V8 250 Restoration Next Steps

It actually did not look too bad. Few areas of obvious concern but not idea of how much repair work would be required.

Re: New Restoration Blog

Your work so far is hugely impressive.

I also am having my V8 250 restored and do have a few spare parts. From your original list I have two rear door cards and the NS spat. I am listing them on ebay but happy to come to an arrangement with another member.
