Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This Daimler Double-Six, a V12-engined Jaguar XJ variant, was mainly used for chauffeur and wedding duties. Finished in Damson Red with Cinnamon leather, it features documented body and mechanical work from 2010-2020 and is supported by receipts and a Daimler and Lanchester Owners' Club magazine feature.
Condition

The car presents very well inside and out, with history testifying to new bodywork, rustproofing, a respray, and mechanical work in 2010 and 2011. Recent service and remedial work in 2019 and 2020, along with supporting documentation, suggest it is well-maintained. However, the absence of a service log book and the presence of four previous keepers suggest it is not in pristine condition.
