The Appeal
The Jaguar XJ40 is already one of the most celebrated modern classic Jags out there. Stately, sophisticated and beautifully styled, it was a car with testament to the old William Lyons philosophy - Grace, Pace and Space indeed. Of all of the XJ40s, though, it's undeniable that the Daimler cards are the ones to get. They're the most handsomely trimmed and finely finished by quite some margin.
This 1991 example comes with an impressive service history and has benefited from significant recent investment to ensure it remains in good mechanical order. Having been recently serviced by a Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club-approved specialist in Wexford, this Daimler offers a compelling blend of classic British luxury with the reassurance of proper maintenance and care. It is going for its NCT on the 12th of August so will be ready to drive away by the lucky new owner!
