The Appeal

The Daimler Double Six sits at the very top of the XJ40-era saloon range, pairing Jaguar's silky 6.0-litre V12 with the heightened luxury and refinement that the Daimler badge commands. Produced in comparatively small numbers, the Double Six offered a level of smoothness and effortless power that few contemporaries could rival, and survivors in strong condition are increasingly sought after.

This particular example shows an indicated 20,880 miles and spent 28 years in the care of a single family before passing to the current owner in 2022. It has since been checked over by a Jaguar specialist, and the vendor describes the car as being in excellent condition. With an MOT valid until January 2028, this Double Six presents a compelling opportunity for those seeking refined V12 motoring at its most civilised.
