1975 Daimler Double Six Vanden Plas Automatic. Old English White with black leather upholstery and black vinyl roof. This beautiful V12 is car number 1860 of 1711 series two cars produced. In its time with the previous owners it has had much work done to it to bring it up to the standard which you see it in today. The car has previously enjoyed a body restoration and an interior refresh. Almost all of the chrome on this car has been replaced with new & where new chrome could not be sourced the parts have been re-chromed to a high quality. During recent years the following work has been carried out & parts fitted. New steering rack & bushes. New fuel pumps. Complete overhaul of the braking system throughout. New starter motor. New water valve for the air conditioning system. New battery. Engine fully serviced. New coil & Lumenition electronic ignition system. New front indicator/side lamps. New grille badge. New chrome hub caps. New Tail Pipes. New rear bumper (all three parts). New rear over riders. New front over riders & rubbers. New front under riders. Front bumper re-chromed to the highest standard. Boot nachelle re-chromed. The drivers door mirror & fuel caps are still the original items & do have a small amount of pitting on them but are still very presentable. The steel chromed wheels are original & have the smallest amount of pitting to them if you look hard enough. Near side fuel tank removed to allow the correct repair of corrosion around near side fuel cap & joining flange at base of near side rear wing. Near side boot flange & sealing lip completely replaced. The underside of the car has had some repairs done in the past by previous owners & is in tip top condition having been waxoyl injected & underseal treated throughout. It has just had new mid grey with light grey piped carpets fitted. The black leather seat tops have just undergone a leather restoration treatment & are all in great condition with no tears. Rips or scuffs. New door aperture rubbers fitted to all four doors. The walnut dashboard has been removed from the car & been restored to as new by a professional French polisher who stripped it back to bare wood & re lacquered it. All of the electrical equipment on the car works just as it should do. There is a rare factory fitted electric sliding roof. This is one of the last cars to be produced that was still naturally aspirated, using four Zenith Stromberg 175CD SE carburettors to power the smooth V12 5.3 litre engine along to 148 MPH at 285 BHP. It has covered 83,000 miles from new. Accompanying the Daimler is a large history folder contains lots of bills, invoices and old mot certificates confirming the mileage as correct. Most recent work has been carried out at Hilton & Moss during 2023, no expense was spared and we have the invoices on file for £9163.52. Also in the file the original drivers handbook, sales brochure and lubrication chart. Although now tax and mot exempt a fresh mot will be applied upon sale for your own peace of mind. This is a very well sorted car that is ready to enjoy. You will probably find there is not another series two V12 Vanden Plas available for sale in the UK & possibly Europe at this time. This is a very rare car and this lovely Daimler would make a worthy addition to any collection and we feel this car can only appreciate in value. Absolutely any inspection welcome. All major debit and credit cards accepted. Part exchange considered. Finance arranged. Free U.K mainland delivery. Please contact us for any further information.
