First registered 01/09/1961 Black and grey.Straight six cylinder. Dunlop disc brakes and Borg-Warner automatic transmission. Possibly also power assisted steering as it?s very light. Original registration number 781 CXU Changed to 365 HFJ in about 1964. Vehicle identification number: 99732. Engine number: 92445 Historic Vehicle The car?s historyMy father bought it second hand in 1964 or 1965 (and, rather eccentrically, swapped the original registration number with that of his Morris 1000 Traveller). The car, first delivered on 1st September 1961, had originally been supplied by Hughes of Beaconsfield to a London businessman living in the town, who had bought it at his wife?s request. But she had then died so he sold the car with only 6,000 miles on the clock. Shortly after my father bought it he had to put in a new speedometer so the present reading of 60,558 miles is about 6,000 miles too low. I remember him driving me back to boarding school along the old A4 when I was about 17, and the car running more and more slowly until it finally stopped near Silbury Hill. Father had forgotten to top up the oil, but no important damage appeared to have been done. When I learned to drive in the late 1960s, he would very occasionally let me use it and I remember trying to impress various girlfriends with varying degrees of success. I went to my wedding in it, Labrador in the back, and it was in attendance at my parents? funerals and our children?s christenings. Between November 1980 and April 1981 I left the car with Fred Seaward of Buckland Newton Garage, Buckland Newton, Dorset. Fred thoroughly checked and repaired or renewed a number of mechanical and electrical parts, repaired or rebuilt some bodywork and doors, and welded front splash panels, sill plates, etc. He re-sprayed the car with four litres of black and five litres of silver paint. In July 1995, on the 50th anniversary of Labour?s 1945 election victory, Downing Street gave me permission to drive to Chequers, the prime minister?s country residence, and have an evening picnic in the grounds. Our party consisted of my wife?s mother ? Clement Attlee?s daughter ? my wife (Clem?s granddaughter) our two young sons and me. We drove in the Daimler. I was asked to send our and the car?s details ahead, but for Granny the trip was a surprise. When we arrived at security at the Chequers entrance gates, one of the police officers asked, ?Can you tell me why in 1964 your father changed this car?s registration number?? I couldn?t, but Chequers? security background- checking was impressive. As we were finishing our picnic, a minion appeared and asked if, we?d like to go up to the house for a drink with Mrs Major (John Major?s wife Norma). We did .She was charming, and delighted to show our two boys, among other things, the secret door in the library and Cromwell?s death mask. In July 2004 I had a (gentle) collision with a Land Rover in a lane near where we live. The damage required the removal and replacement (with second-hand parts) of the radiator grill surround and flutes, front bumper, o/s front over-rider and o/s headlamp and bowl and rim and fixings. The necessary work was completed and second-hand parts supplied by John Nash of the Daimler Enthusiasts Club, Christchurch, Dorset. (T: 01202 481251).

I paid the HMRC for a list of past owners. I then contacted one very helpful owner who gave me a lot of information starting from the spotting of the car?s distinctive rear end poking out of a barn in North Wales. The car?s then owner said that it had been reconstructed sometime in the late 50s to early 60s as a ?Special? and it had been used for Hill Climbing and Trials (you will have noted the plates on the back wheels used to attach weights for extra grip). Unfortunately, I have absolutely no information to date about the car?s competition history. It was restored in around 1990 and was put on display in a small Motor Museum, part of the Chatterley Whitfield Mining Museum near Stoke-on-Trent. It then had its nose shortened by the next owner, which looks better, and since I have owned the car, I have done various repairs and minor modifications that includes fitting new brake pads and cylinders, half shaft seals, electronic ignition, indicators, wing mirrors, new tyres on front and spare wheels, new ignition switch, poly bushes, alternator and battery, carburettor rebuild, new coil, plugs, leads and much more. It has been a runner and I have used it around Bournemouth where I live but it has been SORN since summer 2019 and would now need re-commissioning. It has been kept at my home in a dry garage and I have deliberately left the car in original condition, as I think it adds to its charm. The engine has been routinely replaced at some point but it is the same original side valve of that period, indeed Morris used it right up until the early Morris Minors. The chassis number matches that in the registration document. I am regretfully selling due to a common condition of having too many projects and not enough space, something has got to go. There are very few Morris 8 Specials around and it is a great opportunity for the right person to add to their collection
