Lot details
Registration No: BF 7849
Chassis No: 23587
Mot Expiry: Exempt
- Subject to a lengthy and costly restoration
- Believed to have been used by Sir Winston Churchill when campaigning
- Offered with brown and green log books plus photographs of the restoration
Further info:
This lovely-looking vintage Daimler is a long-wheelbase limousine complete with sliding glass partition and foldaway occasional rear seating. It has been the subject of a lengthy and costly restoration, and is these days powered by a professionally-installed classic Triumph 2498cc straight-six engine that drives through a four-speed manual gearbox. At some stage in its early life it apparently served as a taxi, and is also believed to have been used by Sir Winston Churchill when campaigning for forthcoming elections. Finished in Black over a regal shade of Red and trimmed in a combination of Red leather and Grey cloth, 'BF 7849' is now offered complete with a host of original period items including the instrumentation, klaxon horn, radiator-mounted temperature gauge and rear luggage rack. Its history file contains both brown and green log books, photographs of the restoration, workshop manual and collection of invoices, and the car is regarded by the vendor as being 'very good' in all major respects.
