Daimler SP250

The SP250 marked Daimler's controversial entry into the sports car market with its bold fiberglass body and hemispherical combustion chamber V8. Despite polarizing 'Dart' styling, it offered genuine performance with 120 mph capability. Popular with British police forces, it remains one of the most distinctive British sports cars of its era.
