Clearly a Daimler Dart. It's a 1962 Daimler Dart 250 with hardtop by Anthony H. Croucher and it was nicknamed Fish Tank SP

Exactly right; known officially as AHC Daimler SP250 and it has a retractable hardtop, although I believe it no longer retracts...

Always nice to see another hardtop convertible with an externally stored roof.

Did I meet you at NEC without knowing it? Carnut, Djetset and Gilescooperuk made themselves known on the Lea-Francis OC stand in the same hall as the SP250s were.

Iīve been talking quite a while with a guy at the Lea-Francis stand with the purple/golden car on sunday (around noon).

Several people where around, but to be honest I just remember this very kind older man with the white beard.

Donīt tell me itīs been you...

If he looked like this, it would have been.
Was it you that bought a Lynx publicity leaflet?

Unbelievable!   :o
Now that must have been some kind of instinct really. ;)

I didnīt really talk to many people because Iīve been in a kind of a hurry.

What a small world.


I really feel pleased, that I had the opportunity to talk to you there.
And you made my day with this rare piece of automotive literature youīve sold to me...
