Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1987 Daimler Double Six V12 is a running restoration project, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of classic British luxury with a legendary engine. While it presents well cosmetically with a champagne gold exterior and tan interior, significant corrosion issues around screens, arches, and lower body sections require substantial attention.

Condition
4
The car is described as a running restoration project with corrosion present in a number of areas including around the front and rear screens, wheel arches, and lower body sections. Photos also show bubbling and corrosion on lower door edges and around mirror mountings. While it runs and drives and has MOT until December 2026, these cosmetic and potential structural issues indicate it's an 'Average' condition car needing reconditioning.
