Introduction
Glyn Parry
The Daimler Double-Six is truly in a class all of its own - join the V12 club, affordably.
The XJ (X300) was unveiled in 1994 and was the start of Jaguars renaissance after a huge investment in the company. The results were immediate, with the return of quality and reliability virtues after several years in the doldrums. The LWB model, known internally as the X330 Majestic were converted by Project Aerospace in Coventry and then refitted at Jaguar Special Vehicle Operations (SVO). Just 1,230 of these 155mph grand tourers were produced making them a rare car and a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The Double-Six represents the last of an era for Jaguar, as the wonderfully smooth V12 was to be the brand's last application of the engine. Because of this and combined with this cars excellent maintenance and presentation, makes it a rare opportunity to obtain the last of the breed. It has seen four previous owners, each one keeping on top of its servicing and maintenance needs, resulting in a stack of paperwork and full-service history. The car was also subject to a cosmetic body restoration in 2013.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Steven the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hello. Could you tell me if the rust on the sunroof is also on the main roof itself? Could you post a closeup picture of it and any other corrosion areas.
Does air conditioning work and all electrics?
Thanks Bob
Hi, I have previously two of these both 1996 versions, it looks great for it’s age.
Other than what has been noted in the listing / description / response to questions are there any other known faults at all?
If I win I will be travelling back in it to the North West, are you confident I would not notice any faults on this journey, and I mean more than just a bulb etc
There are no other problems that I kknowof. You should have a good drive north.
Hi
Nice looking car, shame about the lower front valance panel being damaged, maybe speed hump? The oil cooler or is it the AC condenser/oil cooler looks vulnerable, did that suffer any damage?
Lastly, no ‘on the one road’ listen to the engine running, unlike other cars listed.
Regards Martin
The oil cooler and ac are fine.
Just to add to Steven’s reply. The lack of video was due to a memory card corruption. I can confirm that I started the car several times during the shoot and each time it started instantly and runs very smoothly without any unwanted noises.
Hi, is
the A/C working properly
Cheers nick
Yes
The car looks like a credit to you. Thank you for keeping it in the current condition. A few questions – Is there a reserve price on this auction? The wear on the drivers seat bolster, steering wheel and accelearor pedal rubber suggest a fair higher mileage – have the chassis and engine numbers on the documents been checked against those on the physical vehicle? I understand that the sunroof is not functioning. Is the switch dead or can one here the motor straining when it is activated? Was the car suppled without mud guards or have these been removed? Many thanks. An early response would be appreciated and, depending on the information supplied, will ensure that my time is not wasted and concomitantly that I bid on this vehicle. Many thanks.
The mileage is genuine, sun roof has been disabled as there is a broken part. Previous owner was unable to repaire. No mud guards were fitted.
Sorry re numbers, car is not with me at the moment ,I’ll check tomorrow and let you know.ive no reason to doubt they are ok
Thank you, Steven. I look forward to the confirmation.
Thank you, Steven – that’s clear.
