I think this car may be tangentially related to the Daimler that is Daimler/Benz. For some period, Daimler/Benz and Chrysler had a partnership, as memory serves.

I'd have no idea why they'd call your car that, as it was owned by Ford at the time. It was either 'Special Vehicles' or 'Performance Division', as memory serves, but that's a fuzzy memory. Maybe 'Performance Group', though that's a current name - but they often just go by 'Ford Performance'.

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.

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
