Before our 1966 Daimler 250 V8 gets delivered, Jonn has been giving it a once over and found a couple of minor issues he wants to fix before it leaves us. Here are his notes:
Carry out pdi and minor items to attend to. Strip bonnet secondary catch. Reposition spring and resecure/test, ok. Remove driver sill cover. Remount brackets. Refit to car and drill out holes for brackets that hadn’t been fixed. Cut a section of new door seal and stick along sill edge.

Our 1966 Daimler 250 V8 has been in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop at our Suffolk HQ for our restoration technician Julian to have a look over before it becomes a new dream classic on Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Julian noted a couple of items which needed his attention. Firstly, he had to replace a faulty brake light switch and also fitted new spade terminals before moving on to wiring up the horn. As part of his process, Julian pressurised the coolant system on the car and his words ” found every coolant hose leaking”. So, methodically he went round each one and resealed them tight before draining the system and replacing the cars antifreeze/coolant.
Next, he moved under the car to get more of the mechanicals in order. The car has been fitted with adjustable suspension by a previous owner, and these had been set to their absolute maximum in terms of stiffness. Julian set them all back to zero before testing the car and stiffening them until the ride quality of the car was just right. Then he could check all levels as well as service the grease points such as the ball joints and propshaft etc.

Yesterday, we welcomed two new classics into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop, our 1966 Daimler 250 V8 and our 1954 Daimler Conquest Roadster.
Once they had been unloaded from the transporter, both were parked up ready to be inspected and assessed by the workshop team.
They will then go on to be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
