Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / January 2006Daimler 250 V8
Hi, could you tell me if Daimler made a manual gearbox version of the Mk2, and if so, how many were built. Is there a conversion I can do to convert an automatic into a manual. Could I fit an overdrive. Any information would be great. Many thanks for looking > Hi, could you tell me if Daimler made a manual gearbox version of the Mk2, > and if so, how many were built. No, but you can use any gearbox out of a regular MKII Jag.

Is this an original car then, or a "made up" version? http://groups.google.co.uk/group/alt.autos.jaguar/browse_thread/thread/adea610f9 97bb37a/eae8b20d653b6a43?lnk=st&q=daimler+250&rnum=2&hl=en Michael, Starting with the Daimler 250 V8, the Manual transmission was available as an option although the Automatic was standard. It will be easy to tell if the car was original with the manual tranny. The VIN or chassis number will have a DN at the end if it is a Manual or a BW if it is an automatic. Since you are in the UK, a RHD chassis number with power steering (P) and a manual transmission will be in this range of numbers P1K1001DN - P1K5780DN.

So were there 4779 manual versions of this car made? How many were exported etc. Regards Michael Michael, I re-read my post and realized I had mis-led you with the example. There were 4779 Right Hand Drive Daimler 250 V8 motorcars made. Period. SOME of these were manual transmissions. I do not know how many. There were an additional 104 of the motorcars that were Left Hand Drive. To answer your original post, the VIN will tell you if it is an original car that came with a manual transmission or not. It is probably NOT a made up car. Webserve > Hi Webserve, thanks for the informative reply. So were there 4779 manual > versions of this car made?

I think she is a little bit special. Regards Michael
