SUMMARY

This beautiful and highly original Double Six was used by the UK-Ambassador to Monaco, hence its low-mileage. Forming part of a private Collection in recent years, carefully maintained and just 6,606 miles from new.

DESCRIPTION

Manufactured in the first week of March 1990, this UK-spec Series III is finished in metallic Diamond Blue with Saville Grey leather upholstery. It was originally commissioned by Methods and Techniques as a reference car for technical publications, however most of the study work was done in static conditions, and the car only covered 800 miles during that period. It was then passed to Whitley Engineering and covered a further 900 miles before being registered for the road and sold by H A Fox of Cheltenham (the original vehicle order form is on file dated 24th July 1998). Costing £26,000, the car was specified with rubber mats, a car cover and Waxoyled (certificate on file). This was the very last Series III model registered by Jaguar Cars Ltd. and, by September 2001, the MOT records show a mileage of just 4,308.

The Daimler then went to Monaco and was used from 2001-2016 by Marc Devito who was the Honorary Consul of Canada in Monaco. Whilst in Monte Carlo, the car was looked after by British Motors S.A.M and there are many invoices on file for their servicing and maintenance etc. The original service book and warranty card are included in the history file and the current mileage is just 6,606.

The car is currently being re-registered with the DVLA, having been registered in Monaco, and it is hoped to possess a V5C by the time of the sale. Import duty has been paid.

A truly remarkable car, offered in original paint and trim, exceptionally well-maintained and the cachet of diplomatic use in Monaco.
