Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a unique 1964 Daimler 2½-Litre V8 Vicarage Convertible, originally owned by Prince Faisal and later Chris Evans. It features a convertible conversion by Vicarage with modern upgrades like air conditioning and a modern ZF transmission. It's in good working order but lacks a valid MoT.
Condition
6
While the car has undergone extensive upgrades and retrimming, it's noted to be in 'good working order' and has covered 6,500 miles since its conversion. There's no mention of significant flaws, but the term 'good working order' suggests it's not in pristine or near-perfect condition. The absence of a valid MoT is a notable drawback.
