Description

The fascinating story of Daimler’s glass fibre sports car, including its commercial feasibility at the time and key role in Daimler’s future, its development, production, and the proposal that could have seen it built into the 1970s. A bold new design, the Dart, as it was originally to be called, should have been Daimler’s saviour and a springboard to a range of new models, including saloons and coupes. Sadly, Jaguar bought the company before the car was allowed to evolve.
The book contains contemporary material and photography throughout to help owners looking to restore their vehicles in period guise.
Synopsis

Today very much part of the classic car scene around the world, the Daimler SP250 sports car has a fascinating and eventful history. The idea of staid and traditional Daimler building an open sports car is surprising enough in itself: that the car should be fibreglass-bodied, V8 engined and have a daring futuristic appearance stretches credibility to the limit . . . but that’s exactly what the company did produce between 1959 and 1964. A bold new design, the “Dart” as it was originally to be called, should have been struggling Daimler’s saviour and a springboard to a range of new models, including saloons and coupes. Things didn’t quite work out that way and Daimler was acquired by Jaguar, which led to the SP250’s Edward Turner-designed V8 engine being used in a Daimler-badged version of the Jaguar Mkll saloon. Here is the full story of the SP250 including concept, development and production history. Also covered are related models, specials, buying and restoration, chassis numbers, production numbers, colour schemes, clubs and specialists. Altogether a source book of essential information for SP250 and Daimler enthusiasts

                    [sinopsis_editor] => It was the Daimler company's failure to retain its earlier position in the luxury-saloon market during the 1950s which brought about the creation of the V8 engine which is the raison d'etre of this book. Desperately seeking a product which would sell, the Daimler management hit upon the idea of a sports car which would emulate the success of MG, Triumph, Austin- Healey and Jaguar in the USA. To keep costs down, it would have a fibreglass body shell; and to put in the power and give it USA appeal, it would have a V8 engine.
The man given the task of designing the engine was Edward Turner, who had been an engine designer with the Triumph motorcycle concern which had been bought out by the BSA combine which owned Daimler. Not surprisingly, the engine he sketched up drew heavily upon motorcycle practice and, as one of the articles in this book comments, the Turner V8 was essentially four vee-twin Triumph motorcycle engines put together. But what a gorgeous little engine it was! Smooth, economical and powerful, it also looked good when the bonnet was raised on the SP250 sports car in which Daimler launched it during 1959.

Though the SP250 sold reasonably well, it was never a huge success; and it was certainly unable to stave off the inevitable for Daimler. The company was already in deep financial trouble by the time the new sports car became available and, in June, 1960, it was bought out by Jaguar. The SP250 remained in production until 1964, although there was never any real enthusiasm for developing it further under Jaguar management. Jaguar's engineers did show some enthusiasm for its engine, however, and dropped one experimentally into a Mk. I saloon. Not only did it fit, but it made the car considerably quicker than Jaguar's own 2.4-litre XK-engined version. The next step was inevitable: Jaguar developed the concept and launched the Daimler V8 engine in their own Mk. II bodyshell during 1962. Known initially as the Daimler 21/2-litre and later as the V8 250 saloon, this hybrid proved to be one of the nicest and most refined compact luxury saloons of the 1960s. And even though it was no road-burner, with its standard automatic gearbox, it was still quicker than a manual-transmission Jaguar 2.4.

The last of the V8 Daimler saloons was made in 1969, but it was not to be long before the model joined the SP250 and the Mk. II Jaguars as a sought-after classic. SP250 fans today tend to be Daimler enthusiasts, while saloon fans tend to be primarily Jaguar adherents - but they all share an admiration for the lovely V8 engine which links these two models. This book provides a fascinating insight into the Daimler V8 story, and I am sure that owners and armchair historians alike will find it an enjoyable and illuminating read. Included are road and used car tests plus advice on acquiring a good used example. A total of 200 fully illustrated pages.
