The new V8-powered Daimler saloons were introduced in 1997 as part of Jaguar's revised X300 range, a new and highly acclaimed ZF five-speed automatic gearbox arriving at the same time. This state-of-the-art, quad-cam, 32-valve engine was built in capacities of 3. 2 and 4. 0 litres to power three new Jaguars and two new Daimlers. The new Daimlers comprised the V8 and Super V8, the latter equipped with a 322bhp supercharged unit, both of which shared the same long-wheelbase four-door saloon body and were equipped to the customarily very high standard of luxury. As well as being V8 powered, the car is taken to other extremes with its very rare supercharging, and long-wheelbase and luxurious specification. One of the proudest traditions in Daimler history was that since 1900, when the then Prince of Wales, later HM King Edward VII, purchased his first Daimler car, Daimlers were used by British Kings and Queens, with the Super V8 being no different, with Queen Elizabeth II herself having owned one.
First registered on the 24th August 1998, this is a rare and desirable LWB Super V8. Finished in Red with a Cream leather interior and displaying only c. 63, 000 miles on the odometer, there are just four former keepers recorded on the V5C. Owned by the vendor for the last 3 years and only covering some 7, 000 miles in that period, it appears the car was fully serviced and maintained, with main dealer service history until 55, 066 miles in 2016 with Lancaster Jaguar Reading, it was at that point when the previous keeper became ill. Maintenance has included the fitment of a new battery, space-saver spare wheel and four matching 'good-tread' Pirelli 'P zeros' on the car. There's a new centre cap on order for the front nearside wheel and will be fitted before the sale. The car benefits from a very recent MOT (February 2026 expiration) with no advisories as per the last 3 since 2022. On the photography session, our consultant found the Super V8 was a pleasure to be driven in, very quiet on both the suspension and the engine and comfortable too. It is being offered with a comprehensive main dealer service record up to 2016 along with the book pack, 2 keys and a V5C.
