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 2000, this rare and desirable LWB Super V8 was supplied new to its first owner by main agents Dutton-Forshaw of Preston on the 25^th January and is understood to have been retained long term by the second keeper (from 2003 until 2017). Finished from the factory in the attractive and the less commonly seen colour of Jaguar Pacific Blue paintwork with complementary Oatmeal leather interior upholstery, the Daimler is well specified with climate control, cruise control, sunroof, Alpine audio, electric heated seats, CD-changer, built-in telephone, Daimler stitched headrests, deep pile Daimler carpet set, Jaguar Cars satellite navigation system, and parking sensors.

Offered now having covered just 56,000 miles, the Daimler has benefitted from a new catalytic converter in 2017, as well as new front brake discs and pads, a replacement ABS unit, new front anti-roll bar bushes and a new ignition coil earlier this year. Last serviced at 50,483 miles, the Super V8 has been fitted with a new headlining. It is offered with a history file that contains a large collection of previous MOT certificates, maintenance and service invoices, a current V5C document, an MOT until April next year and the original book pack in the Daimler wallet. Low mileage examples of the very rare LWB Super V8 are scarce, so this example, in a striking colour scheme is not one to be missed.
