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. One of the proudest traditions in Daimler history was that since 1900, when the then Prince of Wales, later HM King Edward VII, purchased his first Daimler car, Daimlers were used by British Kings and Queens, with the Super V8 being no different, with Queen Elizabeth II herself having owned one.

Manufactured in 2001, this rare and desirable LWB Super V8 was supplied new to ‘Jaguar Executive Sales’ being first registered on the 20^th of April and is understood to have been used as a directors car. Finished from the factory in Jaguar Anthracite Metallic paintwork with complementary Oatmeal leather interior upholstery, the Daimler is well specified with climate control, cruise control, sunroof, Harman Kardan audio, electric heated seats, CD-changer, built-in telephone, Daimler stitched headrests, deep pile Daimler carpet set, Jaguar Cars satellite navigation system, headlight washers, and parking sensors. Purchased by the vendor's late husband when the Daimler was just a year old (in 2002), the Super V8 has been registered as ‘34 N’ through the majority of their custodianship.

Offered now having covered just 58,000 miles, the Daimler has had just one private family ownership from new, being transferred into the vendor’s ownership from her late husbands last year. Benefitting from new shock absorbers, anti-roll bar bushes, and brake pipes in 2019 costing some £1,200; and a new battery and fuel pump this year. Shod with matching Pirelli P6000s all around, the Super V8 is offered with a history file that contains a large collection of previous MOT certificates, numerous maintenance and improvement invoices, current V5C document, a March 2025 MOT with no advisories, and the original book pack in the Daimler wallet, as well as three sets of keys. Low mileage and ownership examples of the very rare LWB Super V8 are few and far between, so this example is one not to be missed.
