Highlights
- Very original late model 250 V8 with extensive older restoration and very few miles since
- Documented low mileage with thick history file
- Iconic Mk2 styling with wonderful Turner V8
- Useful automatic gearbox and power steering makes it an easy and practical classic to live with
- Attractive colour combination of Ascot Fawn with red leather interior
- MOT and tax exempt
The Appeal
Jaguar’s beautiful Mk2 evolved through many iterations but in such illustrious company it is perhaps the Daimler variant that deserves a little more limelight. The small and smooth Turner V8 beneath the bonnet is arguably one of the best engines of the 1960s and equipped with power steering and automatic gearboxes, the Daimler is one of the easiest Mk2 variants to drive and own.
This lovely Ascot Fawn 250 V8 is one of the last built, registered some months into XJ6 production. It is an older restoration with many original features and a vast history file that confirms the low mileage. Practical and stylish with an abundance of surprise and delight features, this highly presentable Daimler looks ready for some summer picnic runs with family and friends.

Summary
The Mk2 is the classic British saloon that seems to have it all. Beautiful, blessed with a carefully detailed interior and with space for several passengers, it is no surprise that values continue to rise. Yet the Daimler-badged version continues to represent great value for money and also provides that lovely V8 and the practicality of power steering.
This low mileage, much-historied late 250-V8 has been comprehensively restored and little used but carefully stored since. It looks highly presentable and almost tailor-made for weekend runs to the seaside or countryside with family and friends.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
