Daimler Double Six 6.0 V12 1993
General description :
1993 Daimler Double Six with a verified 116,000 km on the clock. We acquired this timeless Double Six in part exchange. A very nice and original vehicle. It was supplied new to its first owner in Switzerland and in 2005 found its way to its last owner in the Netherlands. It has a particular nice colour scheme! It has been fitted out with all thinkable luxury and accessories! It comes with original documentation in the form of booklets, the servicing neatly stamped. The aubergine finish gave the car an exclusive appearance together with the biscuit leather interior trim. The bodywork is in a healthy condition with neat paintwork and original rims. Mechanically healthy, but because it has not been used for a few years it will need thorough servicing. Nice original examples with provenance are becoming a scarce commodity, especially the top of the range Daimler V12 6.0! We could not find anything missing off the options list! A lovely and neatly presented V12 Daimler that requires the T’s crossed and I’s dotted to get it back on the road and making its new owner happy! THIS VEHICLE IS IN OUR STORAGE, VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

About Daimler
Daimler was an independent British motor vehicle manufacturer founded in London by H. J. Lawson in 1896. To secure the name they bought the right to the use of the Daimler name simultaneously from Gottlieb Daimler and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. Britain's oldest car manufacturer was purchased by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) in 1910 after numerous ownership arrangements.
Under BSA era they produced some of the most outrageous luxury cars such as low-chassis Daimler double-six 50hp, commercial vehicles, and military vehicles including tanks and a four-wheel-drive armoured scout car, nicknamed Dingo (WWII).
Postwar Daimler's most significant achievement came in the form of so called Turner engines, when Ed Turner, head of the automotive division, designed a series lightweight hemi head Daimler 2.5 & 4.5 Litre V8 Engines.
In May 1960, the Daimler business was purchased from BSA by Jaguar that was looking for the manufacturing facilities. This eventually led to Daimler becoming just a badge engineered jaguar.
The real tragedy is that Jaguar complitely failed to use the potential of Turner's hemi engines, that in all ernest were superior to Jaguar's XK design. Just imagine, if E-type had been introduced with the 4.5 light alloy v8 in 1961, what a rocket ship that would have made!
