The seller offers for sale this 1988 Daimler Double Six Series III Sedan, powered by a 5.3-liter V12 petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in Sage Green, the car presents attractively in its first paint. The underside and engine bay have been dry ice cleaned, reflecting careful ownership. The interior remains in original condition and features a new headliner and a period-correct Blaupunkt audio system. The engine starts without issues, runs well and the automatic gearbox shifts smoothly. There is no reported visible rust or accident damage. Technically, attention to the brakesystem is needed. The brakes don’t work. The vehicle is currently suspended from registration as part of a collection, and a valid technical inspection is missing.

Based on the Jaguar XJ platform, the Daimler variant offered enhanced refinement, distinctive trim, and the smooth performance of the renowned V12 engine. The Series III, styled with input from Pininfarina, is admired for its elegant proportions and timeless presence.
