    Something different

    Having mainly only run cars that have been fun, great handling and reasonably quick it surprised my that I recently acquired this - I must be getting old! Thought I'd post it here for interest as it's probably quite different to the kind of thing most of us would ordinarily be drawn to.



    Packs a 6.0 litre V12 engine, which is the only reason I bought it as was not shopping around for cars of this type before:



    The interior is quite a special place to be though:





    Picked up for about the same price as I bought my Williams for a few years ago. Not as much fun but a whole lot of metal (and wood!) for the money. Interesting to consider the depreciation curve too - this was made within a few months of my Williams and whilst I think that was ~£15k new this Daimler was being sold for £60k+

    Nice one Steve! You need a chauffeur for that.

    How's #295 looking? the same as when I sold it to you?

    looking good mate - certainly is different from the cars you normally own.

    How does the current fleet line up at the minute?

    Hi. Unexpected thread resurrection after a few years! 295 is going well thanks - pretty much the same as when I bought it from you with a few mechanical issues sorted out and some minor improvements here and there (e.g. new parcel shelf)

    Pretty much the same as you last knew as the Daimler was the last thing I bought, so current line up is:

    Interesting stuff: Porsche 911 (996) GT3, BMW M5 (tow car), Daimler Double Six, Subaru Impreza WRX STI v.4, Subaru Impreza WRX STI v.6 Type-RA Limited, Clio Williams, Clio 16v track car (stripped, F7R on bodies), Joyner 650, BMW 540i Touring
    Not interesting stuff: Honda Accord 2.4i Exec (family workhorse), Golf 1.6 (my sister's old car - used for driving lessons for the kids in the field, although my 12-year old has moved onto the Impreza now and wants to stick with that!), Honda Accord 1.8 (given to me by in-laws, keeping it as a spare as it is auto which my wife prefers driving)
