Hey Jamie, I kinda like them myself, remind me (and others I hear) of a catfish. Perfect for my Southern roots!!! They did import them to the US from the late 50's (58 I think) till the early to mid

Yes, the SP250 came to America. There is someone on the Healeys list who had a completely-restored one recently run into and totalled by a truck or something. I saw one or two of them racing at Watk

I've seen this Daimler a number of times, from Colorado Springs, San Diego and Portland. Doesn't really win any beauty contests, does it! These were all LHD models so I guess they could have been an

Hi Jamie, When I was in college on Long Island in '63-'64, I had a friend who had an SP250. It was fibreglas with a mini hemi V8. It was a fast car that got him in trouble and he lost his license. He

The December issue of Practical Classics magazine has an article about the Daimler SP250 Dart. In the late fifties Daimler, in poor financial shape, wanted to capture some of the lucrative North Amer

I'm sure they went to the U.S, as they had to drop the name "DART" because dodge beat them to it. Andy
