I think that Jaguar purchased Daimler somewhere along the way before they were purchased by Ford. I just looked, it was 1960

Yeah, that's a completely different Daimler than the Benz's Daimler.

I think that's the same Daimler that is this company, the company that made the car I'll be driving tomorrow.

The Daimler automaker behind the SP250 is not the same company that is the parent of Mercedes-Benz. Wayback in 1896, a British businessman bought the rights to the Daimler name for England.

In 1960, Jaguar took over, and over the years, Daimler became something akin to Maybach-badged Mercedes products today. A Daimler would look practically identical to the Jaguar product but with a more luxurious cabin.

Thanks. If you go back to my first comment, I thought there was an old tie - but I wasn't sure about it.

I think this car may be tangentially related to the Daimler that is Daimler/Benz.

That explains it.

It's a pretty neat looking car. It's friendly name is 'angry catfish'. There's a bit of a cult following/collector market.

I'm not even sure if I got a good deal on it, but it's in spectacular condition. I paid $42k + fees for it. I have no idea if that's a good price and there aren't many in the US to compare it to, I don't believe. I just liked it and liked that it was unique. If it's worth more, I really don't care. I'm very unlikely to sell it - unless someone offers me 'stupid' money.

I did not know there was two different Daimler companies until I read that. It says in that article that there were only 66 of those 250's sold in America
