Quentin Willson's Dart for sale

UGS 5 is up for sale at the Classic and Sports Car Centre. It would be interesting to know how much it sold for a couple of year's ago and how much they expect now. https://www.classicandsportscar.ltd.uk/daimler-dart-ex-royal-family-prior-to-42-years-with-prominent-motoring-journalist/classic-cars-f...

Re: SP250 Doors

Thanks for the replies. Really appreciated. I think the easiest solution for me is to use the plain furflex, without a seal, and the outer foam seal. The reason I hadn't considered this before was that most of the other posts I had read said fit the inner seal and don't bother with the one on the do...

Re: SP250 Doors

SP250 Doors

My Dart has just come back from a complete rebuild and looks great except for the doors. Instead of door seals the restorers used an edge trim without a seal. This lets the doors rattle so I bought the smallest seals I could find. They have a lip rather than a tube and so are easy to compress. Howev...

Re: Oil on cam cover?

I came across this item (USA based) from Penta Motorsports who can supply silicon valve cover gaskets. http://www.daimlersp250dartownersclub.com/penta-motorsports-usa-sp250-parts-and-services/ I don't know if anyone has tried these, or if they are available in the UK, but they may be less prone to l...

Daimler SP250 Registration No 628 JOJ

Just out of curiosity I've been searching the forum for any references to this vehicle but couldn't find anything. It's probably mentioned in the forum somewhere as they were asking £65,000 for it! It appears on the website http://www.classicar.co.uk. However, the dealer listed as selling it, Oselli...
