1961 Daimler Dart SP250 B-Spec

Shots of a classic Daimler Dart, under the bonnet and a midnight cruise on the streets of Dubai.

This is a B-Spec 1961 Daimler SP250 completely rebuilt by Simon Crispe in Dubai. The car is right hand drive and was first bought in New Zealand. A 2.5 litre V-8 sits under the bonnet.

Great video!

I'm curious, have you modifed the car? It appears to be stock, under the hood, anyway, but it sounds more throaty then usual.

Hi there. From Simon, here are the engine mods:

Piper 645 cam shaft, ported heads, strong backed main bearings, high compression pistons, oversize needles and jets, Lumenition contactless ignition, high output oil pump, 13 row alloy oil cooler, dynamically balanced engine. The original power was 140HP but this dart is running 190HP.

beautiful a lot

Beautiful. New cars just don't have the charm older ones do. It sounds fantastic by the way.

thats a nice dart, my dad has one too, but it has the 4.5L V8 out of the majestic major in it. used to run high 12's low 13's on street tyres on the quarter back in the 80's.

Good work and great sound form yours.

Aha! I'm not surprised. The engine is over-engineered and can certainly handle the power!

Mine is currently undergoing restoration - a 1962 B spec, but I'm keeping it entirely stock.
