This cherished automatic transmission V8 250 has been in the hands of one owner for the past forty years. First registered in the UK in 1988, it has been kept in a heated garage and used sparingly throughout the current ownership. Accompanied by a good history file including expenditure on its upkeep and a quantity of expired MoTs, it benefits from the fitment of rear seat belts and is said to “drive beautifully” and “sound wonderful”. Finished in light blue with dark blue interior, the car rides on chrome wire wheels.
The V8-250 was a derivative of the all-conquering MKII Jaguar although its fluted grille and more luxurious interior gave the car an air of exclusivity. Its name was drawn from its engine - a lightweight, eight-cylinder one of 2,548cc shared with the Dart. This was mated to a Borg Warner three-speed automatic or four-speed manual gearbox. Production continued until manufacture of all MKII derivatives ceased in 1969, by which time some 17,620 of the Daimler version had been made.
