1951 Daimler B-18 Special Sports Barker Convertible

This Daimler is a very proper motor car that features an aluminum Barker convertible body. Approximately 500 such vehicles were produced during the production period of 1948-1953.
A previous owner replaced the original 2.5 liter inline six Daimler engine with a more modern Ford 4.0 liter inline six. The new power plant gives this car sufficient horsepower to enjoy it safely.
The current owner has spent over $12,000 recently to make it a reliable vehicle to enjoy including a new computer controlled automatic overdrive transmission.
The recent work done includes

4 new Excelsior Stahl Radial tires with new tubes New fuel pump New ANODE 4R70W/75 Transmission New shift kit New flywheel Bulkhead connector Output speed sensor New brake shoes New heater hose/thermostat Chrome Valve cover Temp and oil gauge New starter Hoses/ fluids/misc hardware/parts New battery

The car features a combination of great European styling with a modern American drive train. The car has a combination of original and older restored cosmetics. It is presentable as is or could be restored. Included with the car is the fitted suitcase and picnic set.
This is your chance to own a rare British automobile with great presence for a reasonable price.
I am selling this for a friend who is losing his storage building. Please email me with your questions. Watch my listings there will be a lot more cars coming up.
Thank you for your interest.
