Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 4 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
- You would prefer less gear changing in traffic: the recorded automatic transmission may suit. Try how this exact gearbox behaves on a test drive.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 4 people together: the advert records 4 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: at around 32 years old and 33,474 km, check maintenance records and upcoming work. Mileage alone does not tell you the car's condition.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
The Daimler Double Six of 1994 is the V12 flagship version of the Jaguar XJ line (same basic car underneath with more luxurious trim). It uses a large 6.0‑litre petrol V12 and an automatic gearbox, so expect very smooth low‑rpm performance but high tax, fuel and servicing bills; gearbox and cooling system service history are important. 1994 examples may be early X300‑era cars with somewhat improved corrosion protection compared with earlier XJ40s, but body and suspension wear on a 32‑year old example are common.
- Rust in typical XJ spots: sills, lower door bottoms, rear subframe mounts and wheelarches (look under carpets and behind trims).
- Automatic gearbox behaviour: no slipping, no harsh shifts or delayed engagement; check for evidence of recent fluid/filter change.
- Cooling system condition: radiator, hoses, water pump and thermostat — check for past overheating or coolant leaks.
- V12 oil leaks and seals: camcover and crank seals, and look for oil in awkward places that indicate long‑term seepage.
- Electrics and comfort kit: central locking, power seats, windows, heater/AC blower and dash warning lights for age‑related faults.

At Seaside Sales we are proud and honoured to offer for sale this outstanding Daimler Double Six. This original Irish car was supplied new by Jaguar Ireland to Mr. Dermot Desmond in January 1994 and remained in his family for many years. Having covered just 20,800 miles in over 32 years, it presents in outstanding, practically new condition throughout. Since obtaining the car, it has been serviced and checked by a Jaguar specialist. The area around the sunroof was treated and repaired for three minor rust bubbles; paperwork is present for these jobs. The car is corrosion free on all panels and underside. It is a magnificent car to drive and be driven in, with a vast array of features that all work perfectly. Viewing of this car is strictly by appointment only.
