Default Arden Double-Six for sale in NZ..

Does anyone know much about Arden versions to the X300 Double Six?
This has popped up for sale here in NZ, but it is listed as 1997 - I thought the last X300s were 1996
I think $25000 NZD is too much (about 12-13,000 pounds)

Any thoughts?

I believe the only thing Arden about that is the plaque on the glovebox...

Looks like a double-six Daimler with flashy wheels imho and a emblem of Arden on the wood trim

Caferacer and omgimali, those were exactly my concerns
I don't like the wheels but I have brand-new 18" Asteroids in boxes, as well as chrome 16" Turbines on my Daimler 6, that I could put on that car. The window brow trim things would be put in cold storage as not to my taste.. and the price would need to drop by 40%. I would also want to see service records as 41000 km is hard to believe.

No real arden - just an ordinary sticker on the drivers side airbag.
The car looks stock, except some cheap aftermarket changes

Yes it has the 4 seats and it is a long-wheel-base.

Hi F-Sword
Great Car! I never saw an x300/Daimler from Arden. Is it possible to send me some more detailed pics of the supl. wooden parts of your Daimler?

Awesome f-sword! I want that stuff! AL, the price of the imposter just went down (or it should!). Especially with those window brows.

Thanx Daniel!
I have some pictures but I need to locate those cloes up pictures of all the wooden interior! They are on a oldermharddrive!
I know that the center console only cost around 6-7000€ and the wheels around 6500€ for a set of 4, suspension chock asorber + spring around 2000€.
I don't know what the A.B.C.D posters and the roof lining cost but add som extra 2000-3000€ + work!
I bougt this car just outside Krefeld (where Ardens HQ/workshop is located)for a crazy low price in Germany in 2004 for 13000€ It was a stunner and extremly well kept and only 170000km, everything worked!
I have never seen a x300 with the same Arden specs! Most Jaguars that are sold and they say it's a Arden have in 90% just the leaping Jaguar on the hood or in best case a set of wheels or so!

Hope you enjoy the car, please feel free to comment!
