When Jaguar got hold of Daimler they had a great 2.5 V8 engine
that Edward Turner had recently designed and had been putting into
the enigmatic Daimler Darts. They discovered it fitted nicely
in the Mk. II body shell and had the added bonus of performing
better than the entry level 2.4 litre XK units without out-shining
the larger power plants. The V8-250 used domed motorcycle pistons
to achieve its compression ratio. It's lighter than the XK-engined
Mk. II and so benefits from improved fuel economy. It also
had the option of a four speed manual gearbox with overdrive or a
three speed automatic box.
