There are those phone calls where you know a story is about to unfold that you cannot miss. This is how our adventure with the Daimler SP250 began, a sports car that almost caused an identity crisis at Daimler before their legal department went into overdrive. It was the last glorious chapter for Daimler before Jaguar Cars took the helm.
With its impressive V8 engine under the hood, the SP250 was ahead of its time and made many hearts race. Originally, it was named "Dart," but about a millisecond after this word was first uttered in Coventry, the legal letters started pouring in, and the phone was ringing off the hook with lawyers from Chrysler. As a result, it was quickly renamed SP250.
But let's put the lawsuits aside and focus on the here and now of this original Dutch beauty. This SP250 has only had two owners. The first cherished it until the new millennium, after which a passionate collector gave the car as a nut & bolt restored gift to his wife. Because what says 'I love you' more than a restored sports car with a V8?
With an automatic transmission - because shifting is so 20th century - and a rare hardtop, this car is more than just four wheels and a steering wheel. It is a unique specimen on the market and tells a story of love, passion, and substantial maintenance.
