Beschreibung:

1988 Daimler, 3,600 automatic. Registration number F955 WPW. Chassis number SAJDKALH3AA554034. Engine number 9DPAMA154913. Notable as the last Jaguar to receive design input from marque founder Sir William Lyons, the XJ40 can also be credited with securing the company's future. As befitted its range-topping status, the Daimler 3.6 variant boasted leather upholstery, air conditioning, electric windows, rear picnic tables, electric front seats and central locking as standard. Quoted as developing some 221bhp and 240lbft of torque, its 3.6-litre DOHC 24-valve straight-six engine was allied to four-speed automatic transmission (complete with Jaguar's intuitive `J-gate' to aid manual changes). Reputedly capable of 135mph and 0-60mph in 8.8 seconds, the Daimler 3.6 offered a wonderfully cosseting experience for driver and passenger alike. This example was first registered on the 1st August 1988 by Mann Egerton of Norwich and comes with a sixteen Jaguar main dealer service stamped history until its service at 49,443 miles in September 2003, one further, non Jaguar, service at 55,445 miles in 2005 is recorded before it broke down in 2008 and it has remained in our vendors yard ever since. It will need to be trailered from this auction but it should be a useful parts/donor car, the leather interior appears to be in good order and the engine has had a good service history. Sold with the V5C and service record and Jaguar booklets. Please note it is registered as disabled in the tax class.
