Description
AMENDMENT: Loads of history; just three former keepers, one from 1969
- 1995; a very nicely presented Daimler
Please note that this car is an
Automatic and does not have a manual gearbox
First registered on
14th November 1966 to a gentleman from Cornwall, it was sold through Riders
Garage to Mr Rosser in July 1969 for £1,200 who was to retain the car for the
next 26 years. According to the bill of sale, he part-exchanged his Jowett
Javelin with an allowance of £85.....
According to an
amazingly comprehensive record of every journey on file, it had covered
23,585 miles when he bought it and the odometer had just hopped over the 102,700
mark when he passed it on in 1995. Every bit of maintenance was recorded, along
with the petrol used and its cost....he even recorded the charging rate and
battery condition - an extraordinary level of detail and testament to its
careful ownership. Bills on file show it had a comprehensive engine rebuild in
1992.
The current V5C shows four previous keepers and the current MOT
which expires in October 2023 shows just under 22,000 miles....making 122,000
miles from new.
Painted Golden Sand, the bodywork had a bare metal
repaint by Newnham body repairs in 2002 including repairs to the bottom of
the doors, crows-feet and wing sections costing £4,250.
The file includes
a handbook and lubrication chart, a service book and warranty book (although
these look to come from a later car) and lots of interesting bills
etc.
It remains in very presentable order and has clearly had much
attention lavished on it over the years. If one of these charismatic V8s is on
your radar, this is well worth a good look.
