Description
1989 Daimler Double Six 5.3 Chassis no. SAJDDALW4CP481871 Although introduced with XK six-cylinder power under the bonnet, it had always been Jaguar's intention that its XJ6 flagship would accommodate the new all-alloy V12 engine that had debuted in the E-Type sports car, and the resulting XJ12 duly appeared in July 1972. With a top speed of over 135mph courtesy of the 5.3-litre V12's 272bhp, the newcomer combined superlative high performance with a level of luxury unmatched by many a less-accommodating grand tourer costing several times as much. The name 'Double-Six' was chosen for the Daimler version, evoking memories of a great 12-cylinder model from the marque's past. Capable of wafting its occupants along at three-figure speeds in considerable luxury and almost complete silence, the Double-Six and its Jaguar equivalent remained in production until 1993, becoming the world's most successful twelve-cylinder saloons. First registered on 13 June 1989, this Daimler Double Six 5.3 has covered 132,146 km to date. It underwent a significant service at Bahman Cars in 2021 and is offered with its original Swiss carte grise (registration document), with a veteran expertise certificate stamped on 23 November 2021. Please kindly note that this car will be available for viewing by prior appointment in STUDEN (SWITZERLAND): please contact lisa.salama@bonhams.com and nina.skunca@bonhams.com for booking. Saleroom notices: Please kindly note this car will be subject to VAT on the hammer price. Lot to be sold without reserve.
