Sellers description:
Up for sale is my personal 1988 Daimler Double-Six. It was imported under the 25 year rule from Japan which means it is 100% legal for use and is legal to register/title in the United States (California has its own rules and can not be registered there). It is currently registered and titled in Texas with a clear Texas title. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) of the car is: SAJDDRLW4CC479344. I have owned the vehicle for about 2 years and it has been a great going out to dinner car or when guests are visiting to travel in style.

The Chairman of Jaguar at the time "Lofty" England declared that the new V12 luxury saloon was to be baptized the Daimler Double Six, and so it came to pass and a legend was born.

This exceptional Daimler Double Six Series 3, was built in1988 and initially finished in a very diplomatic gray/silver metallic (we do not know what this color is called but it is the factory color) with a black leather interior.

Accompanied by a respectable history file along with its original Daimler/Jaguar service handbook, Daimler/Jaguar roadside/tire changing tools. This Daimler Double Six is certainly the finest that we have seen and surely one of the best examples of this eighties statement still surviving to this day.

Currently the Double Six has an original 37,674 Kilometers which is approximately 23,409 miles. I have done its regular oil changes and have changed out the dual air filters. It is in need of a tune up (probably spark plugs) as it does have a slight miss at idle. However, the vehicle drives amazing. I personally drove it from California to Texas when I imported it from Japan and have had zero issues with the vehicle.

Pros:
Amazing and elegant vehicle to drive
Smooth luxury ride
Runs great
A/C works
All lights work
Amazing interior and exterior for the age
Rear tinted window
Great paint for age
Windshield squirters still work

Cons:
Headliner does have to be redone in the rear
Minor scratches on the paint
Small dent on the passenger side rear under the bumper (was told can be PDR removed without affecting the original paint)
Slight miss at idle (was told it just needs the spark plugs changed)
