Designed by Edward Turner was a 2547 cc V8 single overhead cam shaft with alloy push rods and a hemispheric aluminum head with a five bearing crank and an output of 140 bhp. Originally called a Daimler Dart the car made its debut at the 1959 New York Motorshow but following a threat of legal action from Chrysler's Dodge division that name was quickly dropped

The original a spec version was built on a 14 gauge ladder frame with cruciform bracing with optional bumpers and was capable of 120 mph however the chassis flex could cause the doors to open

Jaguar bought Daimler in 1960 and concerned about this flexing rushed out a B spec version with extra outriggers on the chassis and a stiffening hoop as well as other detailed improvements

A C spec followed in 1963 with more improvements. During its production run 2645 were produced. Jaguar did build a replacement prototype but opted not to put it into production and Ogle Design built a Coupe version which went on to become the Reliant Scimitar
