1954 Daimler Other Conquest convertible coupe

This is a very rare but very practical classic car. I believe only 269 Daimler Conquest coupes were made. This is one of two known to exist in NZ. This car shares virtually all its parts with the much more common four door saloon version, making sourcing of most parts a breeze. The body appears to be in excellent condition with no evidence of any accident damage I can see. The paint is faded but will probably come up very well with a cut and polish. It has new leather upholstery on both its front and rear seats. Just re-upholstering this car in leather would have cost around $10,000 at today’s prices.

The car has a 2.5 litre six cylinder engine and a four speed Wilson pre select gearbox.

I inherited the car from my father. He had disassembled its brakes as wheel cylinders were likely leaking. He also let the registration lapse so the car will have to be revinned. However having already been registered on nz roads, I believe the process is easier than it would be if it was a fresh import to NZ.

The car turns over but is not going and is sold on an as is where is basis and without a registration. No warranties either express or implied are undertaken.

I’m sure it will be a great project for somebody.
