Model history

The Daimler Double Six was the most luxurious model in the Jaguar XJ series and a coveted collector's item even before production ended. With its powerful V12 engine and a top speed of 230 km/h, it was the fastest four-seater in the world at the time.
Despite the introduction of the Jaguar XJ40 in 1986, the Double Six remained in the program at the customer's request and received a handcrafted interior by Vanden Plas. At the end of production in 1992, Jaguar produced 1,500 examples of the "Last of the Line" edition with ABS brakes and improved corrosion protection - one of them for Queen Elizabeth II.

        Technik: Der damalige Vorstandsvorsitzende von Jaguar, „Lofty“ England, erklärte, dass die neue V12-Luxuslimousine auf den Namen Daimler Double-Six getauft werden sollte, und eine Legende war geboren. Die Serie III, das letzte Derivat des Daimler Double-Six, kam 1979 auf den Markt und profitierte wie seine Vorgänger von der neuen, klar geschnittenen Karosserie, die vom berühmten italienischen Designbüro Pininfarina entworfen wurde. Das neue Design zeichnete sich durch mehr Glas, etwas kantigere Linien im Dachbereich und eine zeitgemäße Front- und Heckgestaltung aus. Die Serie III hielt sich bis in die späten 1980er Jahre und überlebte den XJ6, dessen Auslaufen sich durch Probleme beim Einbau des Motors in die neue XJ40-Serie verzögerte. Dieser Wagen war das Flaggschiff der Jaguar/Daimler-Reihe und wurde bis Ende 1992 produziert. In den 1980er und frühen 1990er Jahren ist es schwer vorstellbar, dass in den Nachrichten ein Mitglied des Kabinetts oder des Hauses Windsor nicht elegant aus einem Double-Six steigt. Kein anderes Auto jener Zeit verkörperte die zügige Luxusreise wie ein Daimler, und das auf eine so unaufdringliche britische Art. Bei diesem Auto ging es nicht um den Pomp und die Effekthascherei eines Rolls-Royce, es war ein Daimler, und er meinte es ernst. Der Exportmarkt bewunderte ihn. LG Tom
