1951 Other Makes DB-18 Special Sports Barker Convertible Description:
This Daimler is a very proper motor car that features an aluminum Barker convertible body. Approximately 500 such vehicles were produced during the production period of 1948-1953.
A previous owner replaced the original 2.5 liter inline six Daimler engine with a more modern Ford 4.0 liter inline six. The new power plant gives this car sufficient horsepower to enjoy it safely.
The current owner has spent over $12,000 recently to make it a reliable vehicle to enjoy including a new computer controlled automatic overdrive transmission.
The recent work done includes
4 new Excelsior Stahl Radial tires with new tubes New fuel pump New ANODE 4R70W/75 Transmission New shift kit New flywheel Bulkhead connector Output speed sensor New brake shoes New heater hose/thermostat Chrome Valve cover Temp and oil gauge New starter Hoses/ fluids/misc hardware/parts New battery
The car features a combination of great European styling with a modern American drive train. The car has a combination of original and older restored cosmetics. It is presentable as is or could be restored. Included with the car is the fitted suitcase and picnic set.
I am selling this for a friend who is losing his storage building. Please email me with your questions. Watch my listings there will be a lot more cars coming up.
This is your chance to buy a running, driving 1950's coachbuilt European convertible for a very reasonable price. This car has great presence. Compare it to others out there and you will see that it is fairly priced.
Thank you for your interest.
