1988 Daimler 420 Limo 4.2 jaguar engine P/X swap For Sale

I am offering this black and cream DS420 Limousine. It came from a wedding fleet which I purchased and sold off.
I had intended to use the engine and gearbox to do a kit car but a completed kit came up and the car is now surplus to requirements.
It drives very well and the technicals are sound. An attempted MOT meant it failed mainly on the jacking points. The body is fairly poor and although it could be brought back, I do not have the appetite to do it.
The rear bumper has been damaged on the O/ S when the last test pilot reversed it into a fence post and then scarpered!!
It starts runs and drives, so a perfect donor vehicle or nice cheap base to start a DS420 project.
I would consider a swap/ PX on a practical German daily driver (Golf, Audi etc)

Located in Ropley nearest town Alton, Hampshire
