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.

External 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.
