Just a quirk of the photo, burgundy all over. Some of it was rust patched up my my father, he was quite good at it and the car looked tidy. It was changed for a 3.8 S-Type auto with PAS. My dad started doing lots of miles and used my mothers Beetle for work so she used the MK2 for shopping etc, but she nearly crashed in to the neighbours gates opposite because she could not turn the manual steering wheel fast enough.

NO, this is my mother reversing out of our drive in the village. When we got the car it had been a London car and my dad gunned it up the duel carriage way hill from Marlow to High Wycombe and it shot out red carbon like a firework!

Six-cylinder 22243 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Some of us can only dream about sitting behind a Daimler dash like that at the moment with the car put away and not at home.

R1152 852 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Whenever I see one of these I remember a time when, if I had £795 to hand, I could have purchased either one of these or a white Triumph Slag. They appeared for sale within a week of each other.☹️ Mind you: "hello Mr. Insurance Man, I'm 18 and I want to insure a Daimler 250 V8... why are you laughing?"

2flags 191 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 That's always been the case. When we could afford the cars we couldn't afford the insurance. Now we can afford the insurance, we can't afford the cars! cort1977 and Low Horatio gearbox 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
