Re: 1961 Daimler Ferret Mark 2/3 - New York, USA

Nice find Mike

I would pounce on it immediately if not for the cost of fuel and the hassle when going for groceries.

I guess there isn't as the mounting points for the hood frame are missing.

Re: What kind of fuel were they using??

To whom it may concern ... As a new season is about to start I finished the "book keeping" for my Dart. The log now contains all data from 2016 'til the end of 2023. In terms of average fuel consumption there is little deviation throughout the years which is not very surprising as the &quo...

Re: briggs body driver side

I have not had a chance to do a search, but there was a very good and long running commentary bout 25-30 pages on a LD10 restoration on her last year, they had a scrap car that they stripped for parts and may well have what you want, they seem to have gone to ground for now but worth a search I wou...

Re: SP250 braking system

First of all thanks to all of you who answered to my story. @Nick I’m sure you’re right that there was no change to the brakes during production. I think the answer from John hits the nail on the head. My Dart did not get the blessings from the Swiss authorities (Swiss MOT) at the first attempt. ( I...

SP250 braking system

It was time to refurbish the braking system on my SP. So in Feb. 2023 the rear calipers were refurbished with new pistons and gaskets. New discs and brake pads for good measure. The whole procedure went without any problem whatsoever. Now it was time to tackle the front. I learned that there are com...

Re: 2.5 V8 - New Owner

This car still has Positive Earth, which I knew even as I decided to plug my sat nav into the cigar lighter socket! Big mistake, a short pssst noise and my sat nav was toast. I decided to fit a Battery Isolator and the recommended method is to fit it on the earth side of the battery, therefore the ...
