The Appeal

Based upon Jaguar's much-respected XJ40, the Daimler Double Six packed an already very sumptuous car with luxurious woodwork and a very potent 6.0L V12 powerplant. The new car was dubbed the XJ81, and embodied opulence at every level. A powerful, refined and incredibly proud luxury car.

This 1993 example is a great ambassador for this highly aspirational car. Note the handsome livery and the beautifully kept cabin, all loaded with exemplary, 90s-era luxury. With an advisory-free MOT valid until February 2025, this car is ready to be enjoyed immediately. It comes to us complete with a very substantial history file.
