The Appeal
If your Jaguar isn't old-English-luxury enough, you need a Daimler. Taking the trims and specs to the next level, the Daimler Double-Six is the definition of a modern classic - with Jaguar's legendary 5.3L V12 powerplant under the bonnet and the handsome basis of the Jaguar XJ platform.
This fabulous example was imported from grit-free Japan in 2014 - and has clearly benefited from its comfortable life there. With only 55,600 miles on the clock - verified by the car's extensive paperwork file - it's clearly been cosseted and very much cherished by the car's keepers.
Complete with a very befitting private plate, this handsome saloon will no doubt become a very cherished addition to any fleet.
