Daimler SP-250.

NMNA. Too much money, time and patience for me, but it looks like a cool project.

Wow!

I once drove one of those across a parking lot! ( It was the early 90s, I was a young guy working part time at a gas station and the head mechanic decided that he trusted me enough to move one of our customers cars into the bay.)  Supposedly the frame is heavily based on a Triumph TR3(?) 

I remember a time when thesecwere nearly free. Probably why it ended up.this way. They are cool, but I can't get past the styling 

"Have most, if not all the parts" would be a dealbreaker for me on a car like this. That's a recipe for pain with a car like this unless you have Leno's resources.

Plus the fact that it comes with two engines probably isn't that good a sign either, and parts for these engine are expensive. If you can find them.

Proof that not just anybody can be an automotive stylist.

That thing is wanted by the FBI.

Yeah, those things are too ugly to be cute. Years ago, a friend of mine was into those; had two of them. Besides the unfortunate styling, they weren't especially fast considering the engine nor did they handle especially well. All in all, an excellent example of mediocrity...

I knew a guy who built one of those as a vintage racer. It was fast enough.

Still, $8,000 is a lot of money for one in such bad condition. You better hope all the parts are there.

The image this car always conjures for me.

Some of you guys are from the South. Don't you want a catfish car?

You guys make good points. If you are going to have to put in the amount of work that this car will require, you damn sure want to feel very attached to the thing.
