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. Roderick Ramage 21/01/12 photography

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. |
