Daimler Super V8

Based on Jaguar’s X300, the Daimler Super V8 was a step up in luxury, spec and performance.

This 1999 example has clearly been beautifully cared for over its 25 years and presents in wonderful original condition with 91k miles on the clock.

The flagship long wheelbase of the Super V8 is the first thing you notice about this Daimler, giving it incredible presence in such a low-slung body style.

The Saphire Blue metallic paint is complimented by a gold pinstripe running the length of the car and the styling is quintessential Jaguar/Daimler. You could never mistake it for anything else. The original 17” wheels are in wonderful condition, too.

The cabin is of the same high standard and is finished beautifully with supple leather and polished walnut everywhere you look. The spec includes factory CD player and changer, cruise control, Harmon Kardon sound system, and the desirable two-seat centre console configuration in the rear with electric adjustment to make sure you’re perfectly comfortable while being chauffeur driven to those important business meetings. Oh, they’re heated, too.

As the ‘Super V8’ name suggests, a glorious 4.0 supercharged V8 with 322bhp sits under the bonnet and is as effortlessly smooth and quiet as it is potent and responsive, with the highly-acclaimed ZF 5-speed automatic gearbox performing beautifully.

A large history file accompanies the car and the entire suspension and braking systems have recently received a comprehensive and costly refresh.

A truly wonderful example of a rare and desirable Daimler from when they were at their peak.
