The Appeal
You could always count on Daimler to take a Jag to the next level - and for the XJ40, its absolute pinnacle was undoubtedly the Daimler Double Six. Filled with luxury, its distinguished lines were powered by a huge 6.0L V12 engine. Only 3,799 examples were produced - and they became highly sought-after classics.
This 1993 example, finished in an elegant Solent Blue Metallic, has a full service history and has recently benefited from a new alternator, four new tyres, and a new air conditioning condenser with desiccant. The vehicle has been kept in storage for several years, preserving its condition, and has a roadworthiness certificate valid until August 2025.
If you dream of getting behind the wheel of one of the most luxurious cars of the 90s, this is a superb opportunity.
