Chassis No. – SAJDKALS3BR723161
M.O.T. – Expired
Odometer – 77,300
‘M792MYR’ is a rarely offered example of the X300 XJ saloon in optimum Daimler Double Six form and featuring the 6-litre version of the sublime Jaguar V12 engine. Just 1007 X300s in this specification left Browns Lane making it one of the rarest models. ‘M792MYR’ is a factory right hand drive, UK specification model with just four previous owners to date. The current owner acquired ‘M792MYR’ in 2022 at auction and the Double Six has covered just 50 miles or so since then. What’s more just a shade over 2,000 miles have been covered in the last 10 years bringing today’s total to 77,000 or so. ‘M792MYR’ is reported to hold a full, main dealer service history with 20 stamps featuring in its service book. ‘M792MYR’s’ MOT expired in March 2025 and was advisory free. This high specification and rare Daimler is offered here with NO RESERVE and comes from the large collection of an individual enthusiast.
The X300 represents the first Jaguar released under Ford ownership and was only produced for 3 years between 1994 and 1997. Amongst the rarest of X300 models, ‘M792MYR’ presents in Daimler appropriate Westminster Blue and a set of mirror finished, chromed Turbine alloy. ‘M792MYR’ also features the fluted radiator shell and boot trim piece so associated with the Daimler marque. The commodious cabin is trimmed in sublime Chamois hued leather. The Double Six was the most luxuriously appointed of the X300 range and it shows in here. There’s lots of inlaid walnut veneer in here and deep piled woollen carpets in keeping with the most prestigious of an exalted marque.
The mechanical specification of the Double Six is no less impressive with this car featuring the enlarged 6-litre version of the famed Jaguar V12 engine. This was originally rated at over 300bhp and mated to a 4-speed, GM 4L80-E automatic transmission. This set up is configured for effortless and almost silent travel rather than outright performance but a 300bhp plus V12 saloon is a fast disappearing experience not to be missed.
In summary:
- One of just over 1,000 X300 Daimler Double Six range toppers produced
- Fitted with the 6-litre version of the sublime Jaguar V12 engine
- Complete with a full service history, sensible mileage and low owner count
