Chassis no. SADDDRLY4CC441169
- Only 65,147 on the odometer
- Offered with Swiss registration document
Although introduced with XK six-cylinder power under the bonnet, it had always been Jaguar's intention that its XJ6 flagship would accommodate the new all-alloy V12 engine that had debuted in the E-Type sports car, and the resulting XJ12 duly appeared in July 1972. With a top speed of over 135mph courtesy of the 5.3-litre V12's 272bhp, the newcomer combined superlative high performance with a level of luxury unmatched by many a less-accommodating grand tourer costing several times as much. The name 'Double-Six' was chosen for the Daimler version, evoking memories of a great 12-cylinder model from the marque's past. Capable of wafting its occupants along at three-figure speeds in considerable luxury and almost complete silence, the Double-Six and its Jaguar equivalent remained in production until 1993, becoming the world's most successful twelve-cylinder saloons.
This Daimler Double Six was first registered on 16th May 1986. Recently, it underwent significant servicing in 2023 at Bahman Cars and is offered today with spare keys and its original Swiss carte grise, the car has been inspected by the Geneva state on 11th October 2023, with no defaults noted. At the time of inspection, the mileage was 64,688 km.
Please kindly note that this car will be available for viewing by prior appointment in STUDEN (SWITZERLAND): please contact [email protected] and [email protected] for booking.
