Daimler Double 6 (1996)
With a production run of just 100 six-cylinder and 100 twelve-cylinder cars, the Daimler Century is the most luxurious British car you’ve probably never heard of. Based on the classic long-wheelbase Jaguar X300 chassis, the two models were produced to mark the 100th anniversary of Daimler Motor Cars in 1996.
This example of the very rare twelve cylinder car was first registered on February 19th 1996, having been ordered at the 1995 London Motor Show. It is finished in arguably the best colour combination of Spruce Green Micatallic and Silk White Autolux Hide with Sage Green piping. Costing £74,000 when new (a lot more in today’s money). With just under 70,000 miles recorded this two owner example is in glorious condition and has just been treated to a new headlining.
Acquired by the most recent keeper in 2008 from a well regarded Jaguar Daimler specialist dealership, this gentleman has never stinted in keeping his pride and joy in pristine order. A recent house move and too small a garage along with not enough usage have all lead to us being asked by him to offer this splendid motor car and find him a new owner.
This car has a most comprehensive ownership file where it would seem every invoice from new has been meticulously filed.
In our opinion this is unique opportunity to a acquire a truly excellent example of the marque with much lower than average mileage. We do not know of another 6.0 Litre car available in the UK right now.
This car will be supplied with the cherished number D12CEN which was purchased for the car and the owner insists it must stay with the car.
