Flagship of the contemporary Daimler range, the Series III Double Six was among the most accomplished luxury saloons of its generation. Noted for the refinement of its fabulously smooth 5,343cc SOHC V12 and slick three-speed automatic gearbox, criticisms as to fuel economy were alleviated to some degree by the introduction of a new H.E. engine in 1981. Despite developing more power and torque (some 299bhp and 318lbft respectively) courtesy of its redesigned Michael May cylinder heads, this new High Efficiency unit was said to reduce fuel consumption by up to twenty-five per cent. Reputedly capable of sprinting to 60mph in 7.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 151mph, the Series III XJ12 was for many the last true bastion of pre-Ford Jaguar.

Finished in Metallic Red with Beige leather upholstery, this particular example is warranted to have covered less than 55,000 miles from new. Thought to have begun life as a dealer demonstrator and to have belonged to its first, private owner for three years, his successor – a titled gentleman whose House of Lords sticker remains affixed to the windscreen – kept the Daimler for almost two decades. Entering the current (fourth) ownership during 2010, the Double Six is described by the vendor as being in ‘very good overall’ condition with regards to its engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, bodywork and paintwork (while, he rates the interior trim as ‘excellent’). Understood to have added only 1,000 or so miles to its odometer over the past dozen years, the luxury saloon has recently had a new battery fitted and passed its most recent MOT test on February 13th 2023 with a sole advisory concerning the handbrake. Elegant and rare, this attractive Daimler Double Six is offered for sale with V5C registration document, handbook, service book (with associated invoices), numerous old MOTs and two keys.
