Description
Very Rare x300 Model, a great car to drive, enjoy and improve.
SUPER RARE, THIS IS A SWB DAIMLER SIX WITH A MANUAL GEARBOX THAT WAS SPEC'D AND FITTED FROM NEW.
IT IS BELIEVED TO BE ONE OF POTENTIALLY JUST 3 MADE IN THIS SPEC.
A TOTALLY DIFFERENT DRIVING EXPERIENCE TO THE REGULAR AUTOMATIC VERSIONS, WITH THE MANUAL BOX YOU REALLY NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR AND IT IS JUST A TOTALLY DIFFRENT CAR.
RECENTLY TAKEN OUT OF LONG TERM GARAGED STORAGE THIS WAS THE LAST DAIMLER/ JAGUAR THE ELDERY OWNER HAD BOUGHT, AN OWNER THAT HAD BEEN A SERIAL JAGUAR ENTHUSIAST AND OWNER OF MANY, MANY VARIANTS OVER HIS LIFE INCLUDING VARIOUS MK9'S AND MK 2'S, THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED SOME YEARS AGO BY HIM AS HIS LAST CAR AND WAS HIS PRIDE AND JOY.
DESPITE ILL HEALTH IN HIS LAST FEW YEARS THE OWNER STILL INSISTED ON HAVING THE CAR MOT'D AND SERVICED EACH YEAR BY A LOCAL JAGUAR SPECIALIST, IT ONLY DROVE A VERY FEW MILES OVER THE LAST YEARS HOWEVER THE OWNER INSISTED THAT IT WAS REGUALRLY RUN UP AND RUN AROUND THE BLOCK EVERY SO OFTEN TO KEEP IT IN TRIM BY A CLOSE FRIEND OF HIS.
AFTER HIS PASSING HIS WIDOW CONTACTED ME TO BUY THE CAR.
WE FOUND THE CAR IN THE GARAGE A LITTLE DUSTY BUT DRY AS A BONE AND IT STARTED FIRST TURN OF THE KEY.
IDEALLY THIS RARE DAIMLER COULD DO WITH A BIT OF RE-CONDITIONING, SOME FRESH FUEL AND A SET OF NEW TYRES FITTING AS THE CURRENT ONES ARE VERY OLD.
THIS IS A VERY SOLID AND STRAIGHT CAR THAT DRIVES WELL ALTHOUGH THE LAST MOT MENTIONS SUSPENSION TOP MOUNTS THAT ARE WORN AND THESE NEED CHANGING.
OVERALL HOWEVER THIS IS A VERY, VERY SOLID ROT FREE EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THESE X300 PLATFORMS.
THESE ARE NOW BECOMING MORE SOUGHT AFTER AND THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF, IF NOT THE RAREST VERSION.
PLEASE NOT THIS IS NOT A FULLY RESTORED CAR, BUT NEITHER IS IT A BASKET CASE AND IS BEING SOLD AS A DRIVING CAR TO IMPROVE, IDEAL FOR AN ENTHUSIAST TO LOVE AND CHERISH BUT MOREOVER USE AND ENJOY.
