The Rebuilt Unleaded 2, 548 cc V8 engine starts instantly, sounds lovely and is very smooth which makes this nicer to drive than a Jaguar Mark 2 helped by being lighter weight with silky flexibility.
The 2. 5 V8 was the first Daimler car to be based on a Jaguar platform, the first with a unit body, and the last to feature a Daimler engine after the company was bought from the Birmingham Small Arms Company by Jaguar Cars in 1960. The engine is the hemispherical head V8 designed by Edward Turner and first used in the Daimler SP250 sports car.
