That would be the one. A beautiful machine, and in common with the Tiger, was 
standard issue to the Thames Valley police in the UK. Until that is they 
totalled them all.

It was originally labelled the Daimler Dart, but they were forced to drop 
that by Chrysler, who had already claimed the name Dart. Not sure where the 
SP comes from (speed perhaps?), but the 250 is for the 2.5l V8 engine, shared 
with the Daimler V8 saloon of the same era.
