1967 George Begg Daimler
Built in mid-1967, the highly versatile Begg Daimler is a true “Grandpa’s axe” car that has appeared in many guises.
- This vehicle first appeared powered by a Chevrolet V8 engine and was initially driven by George Begg’s very first driver, Barry Keen, before stints at the hands of Leo Leonard, Laurence Brownlie and Lindsay Tosh
- It was later powered by a 2.5 Daimler V8 engine – actually, the engine originally intended for this vehicle
- It was a successful, well-known and quite handsome competitor seen around the South Island racing circuit, before George Begg brought it back to use as a test vehicle for his foray into F5000 racing.
- The Begg Daimler is now owned by Ken Muir
