1978 Daimler Double Six

Wonderfull things to drive.

However I do remember my friends double six interior feeling something like a gentlemans club complete with picnic tables.
During these times you could surely have a single malt and cigar sesh in there!!

A good idea, is that!

I love these cars and yours looks a peach. How frustrating not to be able to use it.

oof, that is stunning.

Fantastic, looks in great order & blue over red really suits it.

My dad had an '87/'88, S3 XJ12/Sov from new - I believe that was also supplied by Stratstone Mayfair. His was metallic red over magnolia & looked much the same inside.

He always says that the S3 was quicker than the XJ-S that replaced it.

What a beautiful car!!

Takes me right back to when my old man had a D6!!

[Little Pete]

Lovely.

What a fabulous car. While you’re stuck indoors, may I commend to you Stanley Sedgwick’s Motoring my Way (2nd Edition, much more in that one). He was a big fan of the Double Six and frequently raked his over the continent. A taster for you:

That looks fantastic - can we have some more details ?

Excellent, thank you! I’ll try and find a copy of that. Cheers.

Of course. What would you like to know?

Wow, that is just stunning.

I hope you get to enjoy it fairly soon, or just use it to go for essential shopping!

^^ Bloody hell! 10 MPG at an average 90 MPH. Excellent

Indeed. Frugality is its main selling point!

This is where all that fuel goes...

That is quite stunning. Lovely to have the history with it too!

Lovely, the spec is perfect.

A proper saloon car, you have cracking taste.

Lovely-looking thing, and something of a bargain too? I keep promising myself that I need to put "owning an XJ" on my bucket list, and this would fit the bill beautifully.
