Hey have recently acquired a Daimler Double Six Auto V12 1993 but really don't know much about these cars. From what I've researched, mine looks a bit different with the tinted rear lights and single front lights.... here's some pics... Does it look like a standard model? Any info?


Thanks...

 

Some more pics.... Anyone tell me about this car?

 

Welcome to the forum Mr_Keith,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

The body style is XJ40 in production from 1986-94 with various engine options. In the UK it was available in both Jaguar and Daimler specifications. All Daimlers had the square headlights. The Daimler Double Six was produced in 1993-94 and 1102 were built. Total XJ40 production was 208,733 so yours is a rarity. It was also the most expensive variant at £51,700.

Welcome to the forum

 

Thanks guys, some good info there - the cars pretty rare then. What kind of money would a good example set to reach?

 

Unfortunately rare doesn't necessarily mean valuable. The V12 is a superb and desirable car but the majority of would-be buyers are put off by the fuel costs and the complexity of the power unit.

Thing is, I need to sell this car (it belonged to elderly family member) and don't know too much about it.
Not even 'webuyanycar' know how much to value it at...

 

I've seen a few advertised privately between £8-9k that haven't sold in months. Trade specialists are listing good ones with full history at £5k. If you need to sell in a hurry then it could still struggle at half this figure.
