The Bolesworth Castle May 2025 Classic, Performance & Supercar Auction
1983 Daimler Double-Six Series III HE
***NO RESERVE*** Consigned from a private collection, only 48,000 miles from new
Registration – BS 6745
Chassis No. – SADDDALW3CC354707
M.O.T. – Exempt
Odometer – 48,344
This characterful Daimler Double-Six Series III HE, part of one man’s extensive collection, is tantalisingly being offered at No Reserve. Notably, the HPI report shows this 42-year-old Daimler has had only three former keepers, with the first and second keeping it right up to 2016. The odometer reads just 48,300 miles and the V5 is present with the car. The vendor also reminds its future keeper than this 1983 model is now MOT-exempt, too. They describe bodywork paintwork and interior as in average condition, but add the 5.3-litre V12 engine could require some attention to restore it to its former glory.
‘BS6745’ is finished in Tudor White with Isis Blue leather and charcoal carpets. The original dealer sticker features in the rear window, and the registration plates carry Mann Egerton Norwich branding too – as does the key fob. The original bill of sale is included, and the service book contains dozens of main dealer stamps. It is also understood this car was featured in Jaguar World magazine in 2016.
The Daimler Double-Six are V12 versions of the Daimler Sovereign, named after the original Daimler V12s. Introduced in 1972, they followed the Series revisions of the Jaguar XJ6 they were derived from. The facelifted Series III HE is the choice model, and while this car was built in 1983, the series actually continued until 1992. While the Sovereign name itself was transferred to Jaguar in this time, Daimler always retained the iconic Double-Six name.
In summary:
- 1983 Daimler Double-Six offered at No Reserve
- Part of one man’s extensive collection
- Featured in Jaguar World magazine
