Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This Daimler V8, used as a wedding car for over a decade, boasts a fully rebuilt engine and gearbox in 2023 with minimal mileage since. Its attractive presentation with chrome wire wheels and Coombs wheel spats is complemented by a strong maintenance history, though it requires a proper running-in period.

However, it has only covered 500 miles since the rebuild and requires another 500 miles of running-in, suggesting it's not yet at peak performance. While mechanically sound, the description doesn't explicitly state the external or internal condition is perfect, implying some wear consistent with its age and previous use as a wedding car.

Our vendor acquired the car in 2012 from a Mr P Day of Devon who had owned it for the previous 15 years.
Owner of a wedding hire business, our vendor promptly had the car repainted from grey to white, treated it to a thorough mechanical check-over with all new brakes etc, and it served reliably as bridal transport over the next dozen years or more, always being kept in tip-top running order by the mechanic employed to look after the cars in the fleet.
