1998 Daimler V8 LWB

Highlights

  • Powerful 290 BHP 4 Litre V8 and the most luxurious X308 model
  • Highly specified and desirable long wheel base model 
  • Original Daimler Lambswool over-rugs in very good condition
  • High standard of luxury with factory-fitted Harmon Kardon premium audio system
  • Stunning condition inside and out
  • Matching Pirelli tyres all around with good tread
  • MOT valid until November 2024 with no advisories
  • Low mileage for the age of the vehicle
  • Delivery can be included at cost following the sale
  • Nice private plate included in sale 

The Appeal

Jaguar enjoyed a great success in their legendary XJ series, which was already an impressive, cossetting ride - but it was Daimler who took it into truly premium territory. The Daimler V8 carried every luxury feature offered for the X308 - and maintained those elegant lines with Daimler's traditional fluted grille surround and boot-lid plinth.
This particular example has been very well kept, with plenty of service history. Beautifully presented with a striking Madiera Pearl Metallic livery, it presents a highly attractive iteration of a hugely desirable luxury car, with a cossetting oatmeal leather cabin festooned in plenty of burr walnut.

The vehicle has been dry stored indoors for much of its life and reflects that very well. If you fancy a super-luxurious evolution of the X308, this is your opportunity.
