SUMMARY

One registered keeper and an incredible 1,512 miles from new.

DESCRIPTION

  • Finished in flawless Flamenco Red Metallic with a Nimbus Grey Leather interior
  • Over £50,000 when new. Impressive specification and clearly stored correctly for the past 27 years
  • Original Bill of Sale, Jaguar Heritage Certificate and Concours Certificates
  • Good history/service files, original books & keys and its current MOT 
  • Excitingly offered at No Reserve, an absolutely unrepeatable opportunity

In 1995, Jaguar designer Geoff Lawson penned the X300, a rather more curvaceous development of the XJ40 and, naturally, its more luxurious Daimler sibling arrived shortly afterwards. In production for only three years, just over 1,300 Daimlers were built and consequently are now rare.

This remarkable 4.0-litre Daimler Six was supplied new to its one and only registered keeper in March 1995 and is currently displaying an incredible 1,512 miles from new. The accompanying original Bill of Sale shows the car was supplied through Appleyard Jaguar Edinburgh and on to its first owner in Lerwick on Shetland.

Superbly finished in Flamenco Red Metallic complemented by Nimbus Grey leather, right-hand drive, automatic X300 was specified with traction control, a compact disc changer, full size spare tyre, power fold black mirrors and, at a cost of £851.06, Autolux leather. Clearly cherished and stored correctly for the past 27 years, this amazing Daimler presents as you would expect for a car that is barely run in.

Accompanied by the original Bill of Sale,  Jaguar Heritage Certificate, Concours Certificates, history/service files, original books and keys and the current MOT valid until September 2022, this unrepeatable opportunity is excitingly being offered to auction at No Reserve. With so few remaining, we can't imagine that you would be able to ever find an example like this anywhere else.
