Introduction
Colin Bashford
Lavishly equipped, the range-topping X300 model was bestowed with the Daimler name - Introducing the Daimler Six.
Jaguar produced the X300 variant of the XJ between 1994 and 1997, marking the first XJ model produced entirely during Ford's ownership of Jaguar. The X300 aimed to enhance build quality and reliability compared to the outgoing XJ40. Powered by the AJ16 inline-six engine, featuring upgraded electronically controlled engine management and paired with a ZF 4-speed automatic gearbox, the XJ provided a silky smooth drive with all the comforts you expect from a Jaguar.
This particular car is a Daimler Six, representing the top of the range in the model lineup. The Daimler variant featured additional exterior chrome, including mirror caps and a fluted front grille. While many standard features of the Daimler were optional extras on other X300 models, the Daimler Six came with exclusive features such as rear picnic tables and special veneers. This Daimler is the less common short-wheelbase version and is being offered for sale after approximately 3 years of ownership by Scott, with only ~81,335 miles on the clock. A fresh MOT has been completed with no advisories, valid until 01.03.2025.
This listing was written from information supplied by Colin after meeting Scott the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi. The colour (CFG) is known as Morroco Red Metallic. I had an XJ12 in this colour. Quite rare on the XJ12 and would think so for your car too. Nice looking car. Good luck with the sale. Royal Claret was the colour favoured by the late Queen which is very similar.
Thanks for filling in some missing information. When I bought the car I was told that it was the Queen Mother’s favourite colour for her Daimler’s but I have never seen anything written about that. It’s a beautiful colour and I bet it looked great on your XJ12. Thanks for the kind words.
Has the vehicle had any welding
Front chassis legs had some work, I believe 2019.
What underseal was used and was it professionally done
The previous owner used Comma wax, he rented the ramp at the MOT centre at every MOT and did the job himself. I have used Lanoguard.
Thanks
