Pea green Dart

Post by Phillmore »

I saw a pea green Dart (sorry if that's not the correct paint name) in Callow end yesterday evening heading in the Worcester direction. Left hand drive. Anyone on here?

I've just looked at my SP250 calendar which shows a pea green Dart ESL 179, Richard Law from Worcestershire according to the pasSPort.

Ghastly colour, I hope there isn't another one that colour.

I tried to check that but it's difficult to see. There seems to be a coat over the left hand seat but the steering wheel doesn't show. Chassis number 100224 means it probably is LHD exported to USA?

As far as I know RHD started at about 100570. Where is Laurence Jones? He seems to have avoided registering here, does anyone know why?

He tells me he's tried, but apparently 'computer says No'

This car used to belong to a very good friend of mine, Ron Allen who was well known in the North West.

Sadly Ron is no longer with us. He had many Daimlers over the years and later owned a number of veteran cars.

Bright colours was just part of Ron's trademark but he was a great engineer. The SP had a number of modifications for extensive continental tours.
