checker Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Alright oldcar,you have prompted me to talk about my Daimler. No not the Germany car like most people here in USA think. Mine is a Daimler Majestic Major limo. DR-450. I've been restoring it for about 15 months now. Somewhat challenging since parts, photos, and information on it is limited. I go to ebay in UK and Australia daily but even there it's almost impossible to find much. I'm not complaining because if I was looking for anything plentiful I would have gone with something along the lines of a 69 Camaro. No offense to any readers. For me the rarer the car the better. I do wonder how many of these cars still exist in the world. I know of 1 other in the USA. Australia has a few. Sadly most were scrapped because of the cost to restore or upkeep.

C Carl Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I went to an annual car show in downtown Burbank , CA a couple months ago. Naturally some interesting iron there. They say Jay generally makes a flyby. Mostly hot rods , of course. But here a Pierce Arrow , there a gorgeous XK150. Porsches aplenty , even a 550 Spyder. Like that. The hot rod that blew me away was a red MG TC with a little Daimler SP250 V8 mill. 5 speed trans. Built by a very talented retired auto shop instructor . I think he is a mechanical engineer who lives nearby. I talked with him at great length , and hung around until dark to watch it fire up and drive away. That is MAJOR surgery but it came off incredibly well , and the car is a trophy magnet in some circles , as I recall. I would think it worthwhile to track it down , and consider going this far , as the engineering and sourcing has been done. Extremely informative patient owner , and as I say , a teacher. Let him "learn you up". IF I were to modify , that is the way I personally would go , the trail having been blazed , so to speak. On the other hand , it looks like your friends TD is in pretty good shape. He will be encouraged to keep it stock around here. Or he might be looking for a simpler swap which could use most of the rest of the original running gear , radiator , etc. , etc. Thanks for posting , Mike. Bearing in mind that this thread is "Forum Rules" , these postings should be moved. Also , we are AACA , and you know what that means. But hopefully you can keep us in the loop. I hope I live long enough to see it on the road or field ! - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It appears the MGTD owner has chosen a direction since he bought an engine and transmission from me. It will be an MG/Alfa Romeo 2 liter. Oh well. Nice looking car. It has been garaged for a very long time. It was undergoing a restoration that stalled, and got sold to the new owner. He does not want to continue with the 1800cc MG engine sitting in it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconriley Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It is his car, if he wants to build it wrong that is up to him. The BMC 1800 makes a lot of sense. Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 That Daimler SP250 sounds like a great engine. That's a lot of cylinders for only 2.5 liters. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WREafbQWu-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
