Chassis number 102831 - originally registered on Monday 17th July 1961 as "THS11" in Renfrewshire retaining this registration until December 2003. The car has been the subject of a colour change from Black to Silver during 1998. The Daimler SP250 was launched at the New York Motor Show during April 1959 as the Daimler Dart, aimed at the North American market the car had a separate chassis on which sat a dynamically styled fibreglass body manufactured by Daimler themselves. Chrysler, whose Dodge division owned the trademark for the "Dart" name, ordered Daimler to change the name immediately under threat of legal action. With little time to come up with a new name Daimler used the project number "SP250" instead. Jaguar purchased Daimler in 1960, and during April 1961 introduced the B-specification version with extra outriggers on the chassis which massively reduced flex along with the addition of a strengthening hoop between the A-posts, other detailed improvements including an adjustable steering column, front and rear bumpers, reserve fuel tank, screen washers, stronger rear axle and a revised interior trim. By the time production ceased on September 29th 1964 only 2, 654 SP250's had been produced. The cars large history file contains a good selection of previous invoices within along with detail of an engine refurbishment during 2012.
