About the Daimler Double Six X300
The X300-generation Daimler Double Six represents the pinnacle of the traditional Jaguar saloon, combining the classic fluted radiator grille with Ford-era improvements in build quality. It was the last model to feature the venerable 6.0-litre V12 engine, which was replaced by the AJ-V8 in 1997. Distinguished by its 'Autolux' leather, deep-pile carpets, and walnut picnic tables, the Double Six offered a more serene and exclusive alternative to the contemporary Jaguar XJ12. As one of the final V12-powered luxury liners from Coventry, it has become a highly sought-after modern classic for its peerless refinement and historical significance.
