Since the late 1960s the historic Daimler marque has been used by Jaguar to denote the most luxurious version of its XJ saloons and therefore has an extra exclusivity. The Daimler 3. 6 was launched in October 1986 as long-awaited successor to the much-loved Series III featuring squarer, more modern lines incorporating a host of sophisticated electronics. With traditional Daimler fluted radiator grille and boot plinth plus separate contoured rear seating, electrically adjustable heated front seats, air conditioning, cruise control and walnut interior which Jaguar do so well, the Daimler was a worthy top-of-the-range model. In addition to being a luxurious passenger car the Daimler was an excellent driver's car with a superb ride mated to precise handling. Launched concurrently with the excellent new BMW 7-Series, period road testers were divided as to which was the better, although for many the Daimler's sumptuousness over the more clinical BMW won the day. The 3. 6 (like all XJ40 3. 6 models) was replaced by a new 4. 0 litre version in September 1989.
