1965 Daimler 250 Sedan - Green - Miles - 250ci V8 Automatic
The Daimler 250 represents a pivotal moment in British luxury motoring, bridging the gap between Jaguar's sporting heritage and Daimler's refined tradition. Launched in 1962 and produced through the mid-1960s, the 250 was the company's answer to the demand for a more accessible luxury saloon, powered by a 250 cubic inch V-angle eight cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission. This 1965 example is a genuine survivor from the model's golden era, finished in period-correct green with the understated elegance that defined Daimler's design philosophy.
This four-door, four-seat sedan presents as a solid example of mid-1960s British craftsmanship. The bodywork displays the characteristic lines of the era, with the green paintwork holding reasonable gloss across visible panels. The interior trim shows age-appropriate patina consistent with a vehicle of this vintage and mileage. The odometer reads 8,624 miles, suggesting this is either a low-mileage original or a vehicle that has been carefully preserved. The automatic transmission and rear wheel drive configuration deliver the smooth, effortless driving experience Daimler customers of the period expected, whilst the 250ci V-angle eight cylinder engine provides adequate performance for relaxed cruising in the classic British tradition.
Daimler 250 saloons have become increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate the marque's understated sophistication and mechanical reliability. At current market values, this represents a genuine entry point into British classic saloon ownership, offering authentic period character without the premium commanded by earlier or more exotic variants. The relatively low recorded mileage adds appeal for a buyer seeking a usable classic with potential for gentle restoration or preservation as-is.
