Description
We are proud to offer a late-production 1998 Daimler Double Six (X305). As one of the final units of this iconic series ever built, it represents a unique opportunity for enthusiasts of the marque. Under the bonnet lies the legendary 6. 0-litre V12, providing a driving experience of unparalleled smoothness and prestige.
The odometer shows 146, 795 km, and the car is presented in concours condition. This Long Wheelbase (LWB) model features the highest specification available, designed for ultimate passenger comfort.
Key Details:
Year: 1998 (Highly desirable final year of production).
Engine: 6. 0L V12, meticulously maintained and running perfectly.
Interior: Bespoke Autolux leather and exquisite wood veneers with inlay detailing.
Condition: Exceptional throughout, reflecting careful ownership and dry storage. The Pinnacle of British Refinement
What makes this car truly unique is the experience of its 6. 0-litre V12 engine. It isn’t just about power; it’s about the way that power is delivered—completely vibration-free and in near-total silence. Driving it feels like gliding on a "silk cloud." As one of the final evolutions of the legendary Jaguar V12, it is a high-water mark of automotive engineering and a blue-chip collectible.
Why it Stands Out
Unlike the standard Jaguar XJ, this is a Daimler. In the hierarchy of British luxury, this was the absolute top of the range. Every detail was elevated: from the superior Autolux leather (the finest grade available) to the hand-finished walnut veneers with intricate boxwood inlays. Being a 1998 model, it is one of the very last units produced for the X305 series, meaning it benefits from all the final production refinements and improved reliability.
My Favorite Thing About This Classic
Undoubtedly, the atmosphere inside the Long Wheelbase (LWB) cabin. Sitting in the rear seats is like stepping into a private London club. The sense of occasion is immense. It is a car that commands respect through understated elegance; it doesn’t need to shout to prove it is the most special vehicle on the road.
Why I Bought It
I was looking for the ultimate expression of the 1990s luxury automobile. This Daimler isn't just a car; it's a statement of style and an investment in one of the noblest engines ever built. If you are looking for a classic that you can confidently enjoy on long-distance continental trips with total distinction, this Double Six is peerless.
