About the Daimler Super Eight X350
The Daimler Super Eight represents the final chapter of the traditional Daimler-badged luxury saloons, serving as the flagship of the aluminium-bodied X350 generation. Distinguished by its iconic fluted radiator grille and rear 'D' badge, it was offered exclusively in long-wheelbase form to provide maximum rear legroom and opulence. Underneath the classic exterior lies the supercharged 4.2-litre V8 from the Jaguar XJR, providing effortless performance that belies its dignified appearance. Inside, the cabin features unique boxwood inlays, lambswool rugs, and individual rear seating, making it a rarer and more exclusive alternative to the contemporary Jaguar Sovereign or XJR.
