Daimler Double Six 1995
Specifications
Description
The Daimler Motor Company is possibly the oldest British motoring name around, dating from 1896 it has been through more ups and downs than most, at its peak it provided elegant transport for Royals in the ‘20s and ‘30s to a low period post war where a number of owners including BSA, Ford and British Leyland failed to reverse its ailing fortunes. However in the latter part of the 20th century, under Jaguar ownership, the Daimler badge returned as a luxurious version of the new XJ saloon.
The famous Double Six name was revived for the V12 versions of the new car to evoke memories of the 1920s originals. On the outside the Daimler Double Six looked very similar to the Jaguar XJ, sharing most of its body panels and trim, however calling it a badge engineered XJ does it an injustice as it was a much more sumptuously equipped and had bespoke suspension settings and trim options.
Reviewers of the time felt the Daimler was a worthy alternative to a Rolls Royce or Bentley at a fraction of the cost. Such was its cachet that a bespoke long wheelbase version was used as Queen Elizabeth's official vehicle for a number of years.
