Jaguar XJ V12 5.3 “Daimler Double Six”

Vehicle Description

This extraordinary luxury sedan represents the pinnacle of classic British automotive engineering: a Jaguar XJ V12 5.3 in the exclusive “Daimler Double Six” version from April 1988. Hardly any other vehicle combines such supreme comfort, aristocratic elegance, and the fascinating power of a large-volume twelve-cylinder engine.

Under the long hood is the legendary V12 engine with around 295 hp, which delivers its power with silky smoothness, virtually no vibration, and impressive composure. The odometer reading of only approx. 3,000 kilometers underscores the special collector’s character of this vehicle. According to the information provided, the Daimler is accident-free.

As a “Double Six,” this vehicle offers the most luxurious equipment variant in the XJ series. Equipped as standard and additionally with power steering, air conditioning, electric windows, sunroof, rear headrests, and fog lights, it meets the highest standards of travel comfort. An Alpine radio/CD system provides contemporary entertainment.

Visually, the car sets sporty and elegant accents with multi-piece BBS aluminum rims. This is complemented by a sports suspension and a Momo Cavalino steering wheel, both of which are properly registered. The combination of classic luxury and understated sportiness gives this Double Six a particularly appealing charisma.

In 2025, the vehicle underwent a technical overhaul, was then registered with Classicbid and successfully used in a classic car rally – clear proof of its reliability and roadworthiness. German vehicle documents and H registration are available. A total of six owners are documented.

Conclusion
The Jaguar Daimler Double Six V12 is the crowning glory of the classic XJ series – a luxury sedan that is no longer built today. The majestic twelve-cylinder engine, the incomparable driving comfort, and the elegant Daimler equipment make this vehicle a true classic with great charisma.

In this rare configuration, with very low mileage, technical overhaul, and H registration, this is an exceptional opportunity for collectors, lovers of British luxury vehicles, and enthusiasts of classic V12 engines.

A vehicle that does not need to impress with loudness – but convinces with style, sovereignty, and character.
