Ok, itโs not like I don't have enough to do just getting my EType back on the road. I mean, I need another British car like I need a hole in the head. (ok, another hole in the head). But have you ever come across one of those deals where, despite your best efforts to resist, you can't. You find yourself making up all sorts of rationalizations as to why you just must buy a particular car! Your head says your nuts but your heart says โbuy it!" Well, that is the quandary in which I find myself.
By chance, and through a friend of mine, I stumbled upon a very cool car that I could purchase at what I think is a very fair price (from what I can tell from my research). Iโd rather not divulge the price just yet (donโt want to jinx it).
It is a 1953 Daimler Sports Special. It is like this one (but its not this one). The car is very solid with no rust to speak of. It is 99 percent complete and about 80 percent of the chrome has been re-done. It runs strong and doesn't smoke at all. The interior has been redone in vinyl and would need re-doing eventually, as would the top which is donโt in vinyl as well (should be canvas).
It appears that there were only 500 or so ever made between 1949 and 1953 and there are an estimated 180 known to exist today. So its not only a really cool looking car, itโs also seems to be a bit on the rare side.
