Hi


I have just joined the forum. I have owned my 1986 Daimler Double Six since 2008 and have been doing a running refurbishment and upgrade over that time. I was lucky to find a local specialist who ahs been completely involved in the process. As I retired a while ago I have decided to tackle those labour intensive but not highly skilled jobs my self. I have done a bare metal restoration on and MG B just before acquiring the Daimler so I have some skills but this cat is a way level difference in complexity and sophistication.


My planned task is to replace the crazed facia and console with newly restored veneered panels.


Since I've owned it the Daimler has been used mostly as a daily driver. It has XJS Starfish wheels, modified exhaust and a modified T400 transmission. The suspension has also received a rebuild with upgrade shocks.


The photo shows my toy in front of the lake in Canberra Australia where I live.


Cheers

Welcome.

Daimlers are different in so many ways.
