The Daimler 2.5 V8/V8-250 is a four-door saloon which was produced by The Daimler Company Limited in the United Kingdom from 1962 to 1969. It was the first Daimler car to be based on a Jaguar platform, the first with a unit body, and the last to feature a Daimler engine after Jaguar bought the company from the Birmingham Small Arms Company in 1960. The 2.5 V8 was Daimler's most popular model. The engine is the hemispherical head V8 designed by Edward Turner and first used in the Daimler SP250 sports car.
