Description

Daimler DB18 Special Sports Drop head Coupe, introduced at earls court motor show in 1948. The aluminum body work fitted with steel plate screens was built by Barker & Co. (Coachbuilder) Ltd. which was part of the same group as Daimler. This model was built in about 500 copies. The engine is a six-cylinder top valve engine and the gearbox is a Wilson four-speed pre-selector box. Aluminum cylinder heads and dual SU carburetors helped to launch this car to the top speed of almost 140km/h.
The Daimler has two luxurious front seats and a simpler cross-facing chair for the rear seat passenger.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
