1969 Daimler 250 V8 Saloon | Low-Mileage Classic in Cardinal Red | Walkaround & Review | For Sale

Take a closer look at this exceptional 1969 Daimler 250 V8 Saloon Automatic, finished in striking Cardinal Red with a beautifully preserved beige leather interior. With just 36,000 miles from new and an outstanding history file, this Daimler is one of the finest surviving examples of its kind. This classic British saloon underwent a comprehensive restoration in 1993, and since then has been sparingly used—only driven on dry days and always kept in a warm garage. The result is a Daimler that presents today almost exactly as it did after its restoration: stunning paintwork, excellent chrome, wire wheels, and a cabin full of original character. Inside, you’ll find pristine beige leather seats, gorgeous woodwork, unmarked switchgear, and tailored overmats. The under-bonnet area is exceptionally clean and original, with excellent detailing that reflects decades of careful ownership. Even the boot trim and original Daimler toolkit remain with the car. Mechanically, this Daimler is every bit as impressive as it looks. The 2.5-litre V8 engine starts instantly with a signature burble, pulls strongly with excellent oil pressure, and pairs beautifully with the smooth automatic gearbox. Brakes are responsive and the ride is supple, making this saloon a delight both to drive and to admire. The history file is extensive, including: • Restoration photographs and invoices • Decades of service and maintenance records • Previous MOTs, tax discs, correspondence • Original handbook and sales brochure This Daimler would make a fine addition to any classic car collection and is sure to draw attention at shows and events. Classed as a historic vehicle, it benefits from MOT and tax exemption, though it currently has an MOT valid until May 2026 with no advisories. For peace of mind, we will supply the car with a fresh 12-month MOT. 📍 View the full listing and more images on our website: https://www.finelinesclassiccars.co.uk/cars/daimler/v8/0/1546059/
