I’ll return to the subject of Daimler’s integration into Jaguar in a couple of days’ time but first I need to set the scene with some Jags. First, this 1958 3.4-litre saloon, an upgrade of the 1955 2.4-litre saloon, which, like yesterday’s E-Type, used Jaguar’s legendary twin-cam straight-six XK engine (third photo). This car, seen at the British Motor Museum, once belonged to the father of the racing driver and journalist Paul Frère.
Mercedes EQS: Modellpflege mit 800-Volt-Technik

Yesterday’s Daimler SP250 was a fascinating machine but never a big hit. One reason was that in 1960, Daimler was sold by its then owner Birmingham Small Arms to Jaguar, bringing the SP250 under the same corporate roof as the impossibly glamorous 1961 E-Type, seen here in early Series 1 form at the British Motor Museum. The SP250, the last independently developed Daimler, bowed out in 1964.
Today, a car with an interesting connection to the recently featured Reliant Scimitars. This is a 1959 prototype for the Daimler SP250, a GRP-bodied roadster with a 2.5-litre V8. In 1962, the design house Ogle proposed a new body for the SP250, the SX250 concept. This was instead taken up by Reliant, using the chassis of its Sabre model, to produce the Scimitar SE4 I posted recently. This SP250 was snapped at the British Motor Museum in 2023.

„I zapf an der Säul – für 200 Gäul'
I fühl mi als Scheich – bloß net so reich.
Manchmal träum i,
dass mir's Öl ausgâht
und mei Daimler uff der Kreuzung stâht.
Doch wer glaubt scho dâ dra
dass mr nemme tanka kâh?“
Wolle Kriwanek, Januar 1980
