1965 Daimler V8 250 Restoration
#101
Beautiful Job.
I have the shell from a Daimler 250, which I've had repaired, wet blasted and epoxy coated.
but they never did import them here, so no chance of getting the proper engine.
I am still undecided whether to do the chrome work as a Daimler or Jag.
also still undescided if I'm going to use the 3.8 jag engine and trans I have or not.

He would appear to have some original rebuilt engines should you wish to purchase. Also remember the Daimler has a split propshaft & you will have to consider axle ratios if you go with an XK engine IIRC. The XK 3.8 is of course a good solid engine with it's Brivadium sleeves.
On modern lubricants these are sweet robust little engines. If interested send him a PM.
