1953 Daimler Conquest 2.5 ‘Genuine Barn Find’ Reg.no. PYC 900 Chassis no. D82999 Engine no. 75133 This Daimler was recently re-commissioned following 20 years of storage in a barn in South Gloucestershire. Originally supplied by a Daimler dealer in Wells, Somerset, it was owned by a Clevedon surgeon, after which it has had only four local owners, the last of whom owned the car for 35 years. The re-commissioning involved fitting a new Lucas heavy duty battery, cleaning the pugs and priming the petrol pump and the engine now runs well. The four speed ‘pre-selector’ gearbox works perfectly and our vendor describes the car as ‘running as she did 60 years ago’. During the last 20 years a replacement dynamo, fuse box and cut out have been fitted. The bodywork and panels all appear sound and remarkably rust free. The interior is all original and the green leather upholstery is very good considering the age. The only significant item which requires replacement is the internal bonnet release cable. Further re-commissioning is recommended in respect of cleaning the brakes etc., but this presents a very straightforward opportunity to start classic car motoring without major expenditure. It comes with original jack, starting handle, wheel brace and all log books, plus the current V5c. Estimate: £2,500 – 3,000 Bidding is taking place on our sister site i-bidder.com, click here to bid
