British automotive classic stood motionless for 12 years! Luckily, the Daimler was always covered, so despite the long period of inactivity, the luxury sedan was well preserved. However, as in Britain, where similar finds are occasionally made, the car has accumulated a nice layer of dust. To put it mildly…
Video about the find, first start-up and transformation
As TopGir found out, in front of us is a snow-white Daimler Super V8 from 1998, purchased in Ukraine. Until recently, it belonged to one owner. Such cars in our country have always been rare, but nowadays there are only a few left (we are not only talking about “living” examples).
This Daimler was equipped with a very powerful engine, which was previously only seen in the XJR. This model was named Daimler Super V8. In the US market, for example, this combination was only available as a special order in 2001. In Europe and in the homeland, this version was also considered special and available only for a round sum to true enthusiasts.

Depending on the condition and exclusivity of a specific specimen, a well-maintained Super V8 in Britain can be purchased for £10-30,000. However, cheaper specimens are also found, albeit in a deplorable state. As for Ukraine, it’s a lottery – few offers, and everything depends on the condition of the car. Not an easy find, but try to discover one in our lands…
By the way, we recommend taking a look at abandoned sports cars and Rolls-Royces in Ukraine. Some of them are very valuable, but they are like “corpses on wheels”. For example, rare Australian car Holden Caprice abandoned in Ukraine.
