The seller offers for sale this 1993 Daimler 4.0 Litre, powered by a 4.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in a metallic sage green over cream leather upholstery with burr walnut veneer, this XJ40-generation Daimler presents as a well-kept example of Jaguar’s most luxurious saloon of the era, showing 147,000 km on the odometer. The bodywork and paint show only minor age-related wear, the cream leather remains supple throughout, and the wood trim on the dashboard and door cappings is in good order.
The Daimler 4.0 Litre was the flagship version of Jaguar’s XJ40 saloon, sold under the historic Daimler marque that Jaguar had owned since 1960 and reserved for its most opulent saloons. Distinguished from its Jaguar siblings by the traditional fluted grille and additional interior refinement, the Daimler used the same 4.0-litre AJ6 straight-six engine introduced across the range in 1990, offering smooth, effortless power delivery through a four-speed automatic gearbox. Inside, buyers were treated to deep-pile carpets, extensive wood veneer and some of the most comfortable seating of any saloon car of its generation.
On the road, the combination of a torquey straight-six engine, soft suspension and a hushed cabin gives the Daimler an effortless, wafting character that made it the default choice of company chairmen in period, and which still charms today. For collectors of modern-classic British luxury cars, this well-documented example offers an accessible route into Jaguar and Daimler ownership.
