The engine starts without issues, there is no blue or white smoke when warm, and there are no unusual noises from engine or gearbox.

The Daimler Double Six represents the top luxury variant of the Jaguar XJ series, marketed under the historic Daimler name as the most refined choice in the range. Known for its smooth V12 engine, supple suspension and quiet cabin, it offers relaxed, stately cruising with a distinctly British character. Rich wood veneers, generous leather upholstery and a focus on rear-seat comfort underline its role as a chauffeur-friendly limousine, while the driving experience remains engaging enough for an owner-driver who appreciates smooth power delivery. Among enthusiasts, the Double Six is appreciated for its blend of understated elegance and technical sophistication, making it an appealing choice for collectors who prefer comfort and style over outright performance figures. For buyers seeking a classic luxury sedan with character and presence, a well-kept Daimler Double Six can be an attractive alternative to more obvious German counterparts.

It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
