This book is a unique tribute to the Daimler 2.5-litre V8, the first and most successful car produced under the Jaguar-Daimler partnership. By equipping the Jaguar Mk II chassis with Daimler’s remarkable V8 engine, the car became a perfect blend of traditional Daimler luxury and Jaguar performance styling.

Key features:

Strategic Insight: An examination of Jaguar’s plans to incorporate Daimler into its lineup and how it utilized Daimler’s assets.
Technical Focus: Detailed descriptions of the exceptionally smooth V8 engine designed by Edward Turner and the engineering modifications made to the Jaguar Mk II bodyshell.
Model History: Coverage of the model's evolution, including the 1967 revision (the V8-250) and its eventual replacement by the Daimler Sovereign in 1969.
Archival Research: The narrative is supported by contemporary press reactions, owners’ views, and discussions on design improvements made throughout the car’s lifespan.
Visual Tribute: Featuring a wide variety of 100 fascinating photographs, providing a comprehensive visual history of this iconic vehicle.
