1998 Daimler Super V8

Very rare example; this is the original vehicle of the world-famous author

KEN FOLLET

He bought this Daimler Super V8 new in London in 1998.

The vehicle is in very good condition. It has been well maintained inside and out, but does show some light signs of use.

Thanks to the reliable 4-litre V8 supercharged engine, it is also very well equipped for overtaking manoeuvres or longer motorway journeys. Its forward thrust only ends at approx. 240 km/h.

The suspension is tuned entirely for comfort, while larger uneven surfaces can be handled without any problem.

The interior consists of very comfortable light-coloured leather seats, while the dashboard, door panels and tables behind the front seats are made of genuine wood.

The Daimler was built as a four-seater, as the rear centre seat serves as a storage compartment, e.g. for a whisky bottle and glasses.

It also manages the balancing act between comfort and faster driving, such as through corners, with great ease. Thanks to the electronic assistance systems, you never get into difficulty, as these helpers provide very stable handling at high cornering speeds.

With this vehicle, the word driving takes on a completely different dimension; you practically glide along, and the gear changes are silky smooth.

All this is thanks to the 5-speed automatic transmission from Mercedes, which at the time set the benchmark for a very stable and reliable automatic transmission.

Anyone who would like to own a piece of the world-famous author, or simply a very beautiful youngtimer, has come to the right place.
