Our customer offers for sale this 1988 Daimler Double Six, a luxurious sedan powered by a 5.3L V12 engine that is paired with an automatic transmission. Originally delivered in Germany, this vehicle came to the Netherlands in 1999 and has had only two owners, the first owner in Germany and the seller (Dutch). Known for its smooth performance and high level of comfort, the Daimler Double Six represents the pinnacle of British luxury motoring from the late 1980s.

The exterior paintwork has some signs of wear and tear typical for a vehicle of this age. The interior is well preserved, showing minimal signs of wear. The headliner has been replaced, enhancing the overall look of the cabin. Mechanically, the car is generally reliable, although some maintenance and minor repairs may be needed, particularly concerning the brakes, which require attention. The air-conditioning is currently non-functional.

The Daimler Double Six is a luxurious variant of the Jaguar XJ, designed to provide an elevated experience with refined styling and superior craftsmanship. This model is equipped with a V12 engine, which was among the most powerful options available in luxury sedans of the era. The Double Six is known for its smooth ride, thanks to advanced suspension systems and meticulous attention to soundproofing, offering an exceptionally quiet and comfortable drive. Daimler, as a marque, represents the highest level of British automotive luxury, and this Double Six embodies that heritage with its distinctive design and premium materials. While maintaining the classic Jaguar aesthetics, it also offers unique Daimler touches such as upgraded wood trim and exclusive badging.

Overall, this Daimler Double Six is described as being in good overall condition, with some areas requiring attention. The exterior is attractive, with only minor cosmetic imperfections, while the interior remains clean and well-kept. Technically, the car drives, shifts, and brakes, though the braking system needs maintenance. A thorough service would benefit the vehicle to bring it up to its full potential. This car presents an opportunity for enthusiasts of classic British luxury vehicles who appreciate the rarity and craftsmanship of the Daimler Double Six.
