Daimler Double Six Double Six Series III 1992
General description :
The Jaguar XJ-series has a long tradition. The so-called series I was first introduced in 1968 and took over from the previous three series. Since 1972 there as the fantastic V12 engine which basically had no competition for many years. Only Ferrari sports cars had V12 engines for their high end models, but in a different configuration.Our young classic was shipped as a Daimler which at Jaguar stood for their luxury brand of high end cars with opulent features. These luxury cars were last made in 1992 and were succeeded by the XJ 40. Our Double Six was initially licensed in Munich, then in Hamburg. Its mileage of approx. 171,000 kilometers is credible and we have all current service documents. The only other place to find high end limousines like this, in the style of an English salon, is Bentley. Enjoy its ambiance and “slowed down” driving pleasure!

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!
