Daimler DN-250 The pictures on this page are of the replica of Daimler’s last know prototype saloon car before the company was bought by Jaguar. They were taken on 19 January 2011, the day when the car was first relicensed and I took it on the road. The location is a car park for walkers on Cannock Chase.

My thanks to –

Ø my wife Sally, who knew nothing of the project, when I thought it would take a couple of years and be a nice surprise, but survived knowing that it took more than twice as long and cost more than twice as much as I had hoped,

Ø Jules Bodycraft of Coven, near Wolverhampton for the bodywork and rebuilding of the car,

Ø WT Bell (Burslem) Ltd of Stoke-on-Trent for rebuilding the engine,

Ø John Nash of Christchurch for Daimler parts,

Ø Errol Friend of Classic Vauxhall Parts,

Ø many others, and

Ø the DVLA for re-registering the car as Daimler Replica, type DN 250, with the original registration number LSL 929 of the Vauxhall Cresta donor car.
