Lot details

Registration No: T550 TNO
Chassis No: SAJDKANF3CR877275
MOT: November 2025

  • Rare and desirable LWB Super V8 example
  • Registered new to ‘Jaguar Executive Sales’ of Browns Lane and believed used as a director's car
  • In current ownership since 2013 and 87,000 miles from new
  • Supplied with a history file including the full book pack in the Daimler wallet

The new V8-powered Daimler saloons were introduced in 1997 as part of Jaguar's revised X300 range, a new and highly acclaimed ZF five-speed automatic gearbox arriving at the same time. This state-of-the-art, quad-cam, 32-valve engine was built in capacities of 3.2 and 4.0 litres to power three new Jaguars and two new Daimlers. The new Daimlers comprised of the V8 and Super V8, the latter equipped with a 322bhp supercharged unit, both of which shared the same long-wheelbase four-door saloon body and were equipped to the customarily very high standard of luxury. As well as being V8 powered, the car is taken to other extremes with its very rare supercharging, long-wheelbase and luxurious specification. This luxury came at a price, costing some £10,000 more than any other X300 when new. One of the proudest traditions in Daimler history was that since 1900, when the then Prince of Wales, later HM King Edward VII, purchased his first Daimler car, Daimlers were used by British Kings and Queens, with the Super V8 being no different, Queen Elizabeth II herself having owned one.

Manufactured in 1999, this rare and desirable LWB Super V8 was supplied new to ‘Jaguar Executive Sales’ being first registered on the 14th of July and is understood to have been used as a director’s car. Finished from the factory in Madeira Mica paintwork with complementary Oatmeal leather interior upholstery, the Daimler is well specified from climate control to deep pile Daimler carpets. Purchased in February 2001, by the first private owner (with sales invoice present), the Super V8 has since had a total of five private owners and has covered c.87,000 miles from new.

Benefitting from a gearbox service and new selector cable in 2017; four new tyres in 2020, brake pipes renewed in 2022 and a new ABS sensor in 2023. Main dealer serviced between 2000 and 2005, five times while covering the majority of its mileage (c.58,500 miles), the Super V8 has additional services documented in the history file. The accompanying Daimler wallet contains the driver's handbook, vehicle care book, and booklets, there's a large collection of previous MOT certificates and history, numerous maintenance and improvement invoices, current V5C documents, a November 2025 MOT with no advisories and original sales literature, as well as two sets of keys. Examples of the very rare LWB Super V8 are few and far between, so this example in a striking colour combination is not one to be missed.
