This is probably the fastest, most sophisticated vintage Daimler sports car in the world. I saw several stock Daimlers in my lifetime but no race cars. Very interesting cars.
Whoa there boy!! Brilliant! Did you still use the basic block? Looks like 4 downdraught webers possibly. Mr. Grumpy in the Porsche didn't want you to pass. Your car has so much speed! I' m trying to work out whether you started that far back on purpose or simply had a bad qualifying. ( I think you did I it on purpose! ) Wish we'd stayed to see you pick up the winners trophy!! Great stuff!!
In the nineteen sixties I worked on and drove 4.45 Daimler limousines they were seriously quick for such a huge car I could power side them round Londons Hyde park corner power was stated as at 225 bhp yes and the rest only found out later on that’s all there dyno could handle
@@getplaning Pretty sure it's a 2.5 litre hemi V8, as came in the car stock. The engine has been modified. www.britishracecar.com/LarryLigas-Daimler-SP250.htm
Well, this looks like an awful lot of fun!
