Technician James has been working on our 1964 Daimler 250 V8. The steering pump has been overhauled and has been refitted to the car along with the drive belt and reservoir.
The system has been topped up, the underside areas cleaned and the car road tested. Then we checked under the car again, the steering pump and components are clean and dry now. The fluid levels were rechecked and found to be ok.
James checked the brakes while the car was on the ramp, and all was ok, although the car still had a leak from the older style “rope type” rear main. This would need the engine removing and upgrading to a modern equivalent involving modification to the engine block. Also, a small amount of coolant staining was found on the engines, but no obvious leaks when pressure testing.
Once James was finished with our Daimler, Tony loaded it into the trailer and transported it to our storage facility.

After our 1964 Daimler 250 V8 was re-painted and polished, classic car technician Chris painted the number plates and the number plate backing to make sure the car looks as good as possible for when it gets returned to its owner in the near future.
When you have a classic car, these seemingly small paint jobs can go a long way in keeping your car in pristine condition so you, and everyone who sees it, can enjoy it as it deserves to be.

After being stripped and undergoing some repairs on its bodywork, our 1964 Daimler 250 V8 has continued its time in the Bridge Classic Cars paintshop with Chris.
Chris first stripped the paint from the classic Daimler in preparation for it to have epoxy primer applied. There was also some filler work that needed to be completed before the car moved into final primer.
After being primed, our Daimler 250 was prepped for its final coat of paint. Once all of Chris’s preparations were complete, he then moved on to applying the colour to the freshly primed body.

Classic car technician Scott has been servicing the engine of our 1964 Daimler 250 V8. While doing this, Scott fitted new engine mounts and cleaned the old caked-on grease and oil from the engine. He also replaced the brake master cylinder.
Scott moved on to refitting the rear axle. However, while he was building it back up, he noticed that the threads were damaged on the off-side rear half shaft so a new shaft and bearing were ordered.
While waiting for the new shaft to arrive, Scott removed and stripped the front axle. Once the new parts were here, the old half shaft was removed and replaced with the new shaft and bearing.
Checking Our Daimler
February 7, 2023
After being in storage for several years, our 1968 Daimler 250 is in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop for an assessment and appraisal.
Classic car technician Jonn began his inspection of our classic Daimler and found some small areas of rust as well as noticing an issue with the engine oil level. The oil had been overfilled so there was actually too much of it in the car.
Once the car has been fully checked, Jonn’s findings will be reported to the car’s owner ready to formulate a plan of action for the future.

The Bridge Classic Cars secure storage facility, The Hangar, has welcomed a new resident recently – this 1968 Daimler 250.
The car has arrived to wait its turn for the team to completely and thoroughly inspect it at our Pettistree workshops deep in the Suffolk countryside.
