The Daimler 2.5 V8 (or 2½-litre V8) was a four-door saloon produced in Coventry, England by Daimler. Launched late in 1962.[2] Essentially a rebadged Jaguar Mark 2 fitted with Daimler's particularly smooth 2.5-litre V8 engine and drive-train, a special Daimler fluted (furrowed brow) grille and rear number plate surround, distinctive wheel trims, badges, and interior details (such as a split-bench front seat and a black enamel steering wheel) and special interior and exterior colours with its soft V8 burble. A casual observer, though not its driver, might mistake it for a Jaguar Mark 2. Most cars were fitted with power-assisted steering but it was optional. Automatic transmission was standard, manual with or without overdrive became an option in 1967. Daimler V8 2.5 1965 Automatic Jaguar MK2 shape This is a very nice project car. It was stored in TX since the late 90's. The engine runs nicely and it shifts in gear. The paint work is faded & peeling in parts owing to being stored in high temperatures in TX. Visually the body has no sign of rust or repair except for a small rust spot on the left rear door. All the doors close with a tight fit and the door bottoms are clean and the sills are solid. The frame is very solid. The trunk is clean with a few spots of surface rust which you will see by the pics. All the chrome is in excellent condition. The brakes are in working order and there are five brand new tires. All the wood trimmings on doors and panels are sanded off and ready for finishing. There are new parts still in boxes which consist of new seals for the windshield and rear window and some other parts. It's been reupholstered sometime in the past which still looks good.See all pics.Please remember this is a project car. It already has antique plates and a clear title in my name.Contact # 615-553-2129
