Daimler Double Six (Jaguar XJ12), 170km/h
I bought this Double Six for a small sum as it had been sitting under a house for 2 years and needed some 'recommissioning'. It really just needed a quick squirt ...
Not perfect but solid Daimler double six. In some words - my new pleasure and headache too:) Driving with this car is indescribable. Unfortunately nowadays ...
Why the leaper on the bonnet? This is after all a Daimler not a Jaguar.
They are two distinct marques. Rather like putting Toyota badges on a Lexus
and you wouldn't do that now would you? I have a Series 2 Daimler Double
Six Vanden Plas and while the leaping cat looks good, to me it would not be
right on a car pitched at a more gentile customer base. Daimler cars are
more exclusive than their Jaguar stablemates. Nice car though..
Lovely Series 2 Double-Six Vanden Plas, and the Coral paintwork with
Chamois hide is gorgeous. I'd love to see some more of this car, including
some driving!
