Advertised locally, and made the huge mistake of going to look at it, with disastrous financial consequences 😱

Fantastic! I've seen a few of these around this year since the weather warmed up. Always a great sight 

[DeanH]

Lovely!

[Matty]

God that's marvelous 

[Rocket88]

Seems solid enough underneath, recently 3 years ago) had a lot of welding done.Panels are in excellent shape

[Rocket88]

Supposedly done 25k miles, which is obviously total bollocks, but engine sounds sweet, gears gear, brakes brake etc. It’s bound to be hiding something horrendous, but if it is, it’s not obvious 😱

Thanks, t'was yours I was thinking of as I remember enjoying your posts about it. Maybe I've not seen his thread yet.

Three shite Daimlers…… this place etc etc etc…..

[sutty2006]

I love these. Friend of mine has a white jag and used to have a white Daimler with the v8 and auto box. We did a wedding with them once upon a time and I got to drive the manual jag. What a lovely machine! Would pilot again. 

[High Jetter]

The rivalry between of the Daimler V8 250 vs Mk 2 Jag was intense!

[Rocket88]

Daimler was supposedly a far nicer car to drive than the 2.4 Jaguar…..This has the Jaguar gearbox, not the rather agricultural Moss g’box that the 2.4 had

[2flags]

There are reports that some people put the 4.5 Daimler V8 in them. Apparently they went very, very well! [I think the engine came out of the Conquest, but I'm not absolutely certain.] 

[wuvvum]

Majestic Major.

I stand corrected.

Yup…. Although it’s by no means a bolt in swap. I used to have a Majestic Major with that engine…. It was unfeasibly rapid for what was basically a country mansion on wheels

[wuvvum]

I had a Conquest years ago.  It would have been bloody lethal with a 220bhp V8...

[DaveDorson]

I adore these 

[eddyramrod]

I approve.  Especially all this talk of the 4.5.....

[hairnet]

right engine ftw
