1994 Jaguar XJ12 6.0

This Daimler Double Six 6.0 V12 Majestic Long Wheel Base (LWB) is almost too beautiful and good to be true.

In October 1994, the XJ 40 series was discontinued after 8 very successful years of production, and its successor arrived.

Development had already begun in 1973 and pursued the goal of opting for the conventional Jaguar style: classic proportions combined with craftsmanship traditions (wood, metal, and leather as materials). With its proportions, flat side profile, and “hip sweep,” the XJ40 continued the traditional design of its predecessors in a modern interpretation.

Particularly in the field of vehicle electronics, the XJ 40 was one of the most technically ambitious vehicles of the 1980s. The XJ40 received the AJ6 inline six-cylinder engine made of light alloy and known from the XJ-S, with 3.6 to 4.0 ltr. displacement, as well as the sensationally smooth-running V12 engine with initially 5.3 ltr. and, in the final two years of production, the enlarged 6.0 ltr. V12, as featured in this exceptional example.

A new styling element introduced with the XJ40 was the highly practical and, at the time, unique J-Gate automatic transmission, with a separate gate for manual gear selection. The XJ40 was a major commercial success for Jaguar. No large Jaguar saloon had ever achieved such high sales figures in a single year as the XJ40 did in the early years of its production.

The crowning glory was the luxury variant, the Daimler Double Six Majestic LWB. Hand-painted and equipped with extremely high-quality materials, like this special example. Only 49 Daimler Double Six models were built, and only 1 example in the beautiful Morocco Red with Cream interior color combination.

Only 2 previous owners and only 2.870 KM mileage!

Originally delivered to Switzerland to a JAGUAR enthusiast, maintained by a Jaguar workshop, most recently at our facility, and in like-new condition.

It cannot be found or acquired in this condition again. That is why the price is also significantly higher than the usual market prices. A truly special vehicle from the current trend decades of the 1980s / 1990s.
