The
desicion to create a sports car was a change of tack for Daimler
when, under new management, the company decided to build the
SP250 'Dart'. The Chassis and layout of the SP250 was taken
from the Triumph TR3. The body was made from fibreglass and
featured some unusual and awkward styling elements.
The 'Dart' name had to be dropped from the SP250 as Dodge held
the patent to the name.

review by John Kessler
Two UK guys who I met at a recent car show while looking at
the first one I've seen in 35 years in USA told me most Brits
refer to the SP250 as the "Catfish", due to its 'unique' front
styling.
