Specifications
Description
The classic Daimler 250 V8 is a charming car, as luxurious on the road as a cruise ship is at sea.
We bring you here a most sumptuous Daimler V8 250.
Superficially, a Daimler 250 is a badge-engineered Jaguar Mk2. Only a discerning car buff would clock the moulded Daimler grille in place of the Jaguar mascot. But the Daimler isn't a leaping cat with a few changed spots, and should be celebrated as a big beast in its own right. It is powered by the last authentic Daimler engine after Jaguar's takeover – which is not only a dazzling piece of engineering, but imbues the car with a quite different character.
- Low Ownership
- Low Mileage
- matching numbers.
- We bought this car completely factory original still in factory paint, so understandably paint was tired in some areas. We stripped and repainted in original colour where necessary, and polished it.
- Windscreen, door rubbers all new.
- Interior was completely original when we bought it, but tired (leather hard etc). Pulled everything out and started again - new carpet, new leather, recushioned seats, new roof lining, new wind lace, new door panels, dyed all interior, except for door cards.
- All Wood pulled out and professionally reveneered.
- Mechanically, car got a good once over by Jaguar Specialist, mainly due to lack of use. Radiator, new gaskets, replaced hoses, tested all interior lights, switches and made them all work. Changed all bushes, plugs, brakes, suspension bushes etc plus its just been serviced.
- Almost $30K was spent on mechanical matters, interior, new door and windscreen rubbers, paintwork, new tyres, new chrome wire wheels etc.
- Car is now in A1 condition. Starts, runs and drives perfectly. Not a rattle or squeak. And looks awesome inside and out.
- One of the finest examples in New Zealand.
A really posh way to travel – this car is an astounding find. Beautiful to be chauffer driven in.
An inspirational Daimler in Mint condition throughout. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

NOTIFICATION AS TO NATURE OF GOODS IN TERMS OF THE CONSUMER GUARANTEES ACT 1993
Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
