History ;The Daimler company was purchased by Jaguar in 1960 , and it did not take the engineers at Jaguar long to realize the potential of the Daimler 2.5 liter engine , designed by Edward Turner . With very little work , the engine was adapted to fit the mark ll saloon . Little other mechanical work was required , other than revising front suspension spring rates due to the lightness of the aluminum V8 .The Borg Warner type 35 automatic gearbox was fitted as standard . Externally , the Daimler was distinguished from the Jaguar by the fitment of a fluted grille and boot plinth , a swept "D" on the bonnet and hubcaps , and a Daimler script on the boot lid . Inside , the jaguar dashboard was retained , but a split bench front seat was fitted , with a revised centre console . Veneer quality was improved , and a bold "D" was featured on the steering wheel . Without incurring vast development costs , the new model gave the Daimler marque a new lease of life , satisfying the Daimler dealers and customers .The Daimler launched in 1962 and was aimed at a more traditional and professional clientele , which was reflected in the price . The new Daimler saloon outperformed the 2.4 liter Jaguar , by having a 0-60mph time of 13.8 seconds , and a top speed of 110mph . The model offered remarkable standards of smoothness and quietness . Total production was 13,018 vehicles between 1962 and 1967 . DescriptionThis is a 1965 Daimler 2.5L V8 sedan Ex California car , good solid body . This Daimler has a dark green exterior that goes ideal with its light green leather interior , the original interior looks great for its age . This model is an automatic right side driver , with AM/FM stereo , drum breaks , steel hubcaps , fog lights , and full instrumentation , comfortable seats , sits six people , large trunk , great classic style car with wood dash and wood trim interior through out . This vehicle has been sitting for a while , so it will need to be serviced before its street worthy . it is missing the valve covers but has the air cleaner and every thing else . This Daimler has no title but I did find a copy of the title in the glove box that may help the new buyer getting a new title . plus I will provide a notarized bill of sale . It is sold as is with no warranty .
