'The new aluminium V8 was smooth, quiet and powerful, and corresponded perfectly with low road noise, long a key feature of Jaguars.' – Eric Dymock, 'The Jaguar File'.
The new V8-powered Daimler saloons were introduced in 1997 as part of Jaguar's revised X300 range, a new and highly acclaimed ZF five-speed automatic gearbox arriving at the same time. This state-of-the-art, quad-cam, 32-valve engine was built in capacities of 3.2 and 4.0 litres to power three new Jaguars and two new Daimlers. The new Daimlers comprised the V8 and Super V8, the latter equipped with a 322bhp supercharged unit, both of which shared the same long-wheelbase four-door saloon body and were equipped to the customarily very high standard of luxury.
As well as being V8 powered, the car is taken to other extremes with its very rare supercharging and long-wheelbase and luxurious specification. A well-specified Daimler from new, this example is presented in Mistral Pearl Metallic with a Cream leather interior and enjoys the supercharged V8 which propels this elegant British saloon along with great ease. This model comes with air conditioning, electric windows and front seats. It also has a CD player and changer, picnic tables in the rear, cruise control, 17-inch alloys, electric sunroof and the desirable two-seat centre console configuration in the rear, as opposed to the usual bench seat. With distinctive 'Super V8' badging, these luxury V8 saloons are a comfortable ride and smooth to drive. For comfort and Daimler brand luxury, the specification also includes stitched Daimler logo head restraints and a deep pile Daimler carpet set, Jaguar Cars satellite navigation system, headlight washers, and front and rear parking sensors. The car has just three former keepers. Included in the sale is the cherished registration number 'D8 DVG'.
