This exciting 1994 Daimler Double-Six is described as a barn find offered at No Reserve. Part of one man’s extensive collection, ‘M41FVC’ uses the later 6.0-litre V12 engine, producing over 310bhp for a genuine 155mph top speed when new. Records show this 30-year-old Daimler has had just six former keepers, and has been in its current stewardship for eight years. Its last MOT was completed in June 2016, where it was given a pass with just a single advisory for a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. An impressive odometer reading of 175,000 miles shows this Daimler Double-Six has been well-used and well-loved.
‘M41FVC’ has an interior featuring all the Daimler refinements, including rich grey leather and wood veneer that extends to the steering wheel and instrument pack. The classic six-dial layout is another highlight – as is the stylised gold Daimler ‘D’ on the steering wheek. On the outside, the ‘D’ is replicated on the grille, while classic red Daimler logos feature on the bootlid, including the ‘Double Six’ script.
The 1994-1997 Daimler Double-Six was derived from the contemporary Jaguar X300-series XJ6. The first Jaguar to be produced under Ford Motor Company stewardship, this evolution of the Jaguar XJ40 represented a £200 million investment. The design was beautifully evolved with a twin-headlamp design, while quality and reliability were much-improved. The Daimler Double-Six was the range-topping version, carrying the codename X305 along with the Jaguar XJ12 version. Design highlights included lashings of chrome, heated front seats and special wood veneer.
In Summary:
- Barn-find 1994 Daimler Double-Six offered at No Reserve
- Interior with all the usual Daimler refinements
- Just six former keepers
