The Bolesworth Castle May 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1986 Jaguar Sovereign V12 HE
***NO RESERVE***
Registration - C879 FWU
Chassis No. - SAJJDALW3CC444243
M.O.T. - April 2025
Odometer - 99,490
This formidable Daimler Double-Six comes in fresh white with a black leather interior. The heart of the car, its 5.3-litre V12 engine, is described as being in ‘excellent’ condition, as is the automatic transmission. It was acquired by the vendor at the end of 2023, he bought it from a close friend, called Dave, who’d owned it for more than two decades. An engineer by trade, Dave did all the work himself. The vendor doesn’t have any paperwork, but does report it passed every single MOT as far back as 2006 first time, “no advisories… that’s 19 on the trot. Quite remarkable”. The bodywork is described as ‘average’ but the underside is demed to be in good order, as is the interior, and the V12 Daimler drives “beautifully”.
The Daimler Double-Six name was revived in 1972 for the flagship V12 version of the contemporary Jaguar XJ12. The twelve-cylinder Daimler was visually almost identical to the Jaguar, with only badges to distinguish them. The Double-Six enjoyed the same series upgrades as the Jaguar, and survived as the Series III until 1992. For those seeking a relatively affordable version of the iconic Jaguar V12 engine, the Daimler is a tempting choice.
In summary:
· Enviable V12 Daimler version of the well-loved Jaguar XJ
· Diligently looked after by a trained engineer
· Described as driving “beautifully”
