2006 Daimler Super Eight 4.2 V8 Automatic. Indigo blue with Ivory leather and mushroom piping. Launched in 2003 and remaining in production until 2007, the X350 was by far the most advanced saloon that Jaguar had ever made and featured a totally new chassis and body constructed almost entirely from aluminium. With a bodyshell that weighed no more than a contemporary Mini, the X350 was 40% lighter and 60% stiffer than its all-steel predecessor which not only improved fuel economy and handling, but also meant the car would never go rusty. A range of engines were offered from a 2.7-litre diesel V6 to a 4.2-litre petrol V8 but cream of the crop was the supercharged 4.2 V8 that produced 400bhp and 408lb/ft of torque. Driving through a six-speed automatic gearbox this gave the big saloon supercar performance with a top speed limited to 155mph and a 0-60 time of just 5 seconds with up to 35mpg economy. Packed full of all the latest luxuries and driver aids, the X350 was also beautifully built and was soon voted the best luxury car in the JD Power customer satisfaction index, beating all rival offerings from Mercedes and BMW – high praise indeed. The rarest and most expensive model of all was the long-wheelbase Daimler Super Eight version which was only on sale from 2003 to 2007. Distinguished from the Jaguar by a different front grille and additional exterior brightwork, it also had an even more luxurious interior with lamb’s wool carpets, boxwood inlays, burr walnut picnic tables, monogrammed seats (electric front and rear), four-zone climate control, sat nav, TV screens in the headrests plus every other gadget you could dream of. Costing almost £80,000 it was aimed primarily at the chauffeur-driven billionaire class of the Far East market and only a tiny handful were ever sold in the UK – perhaps as few as 12 if you believe the stories. This particular car has been part of a private Jaguar collection for the last 6 years and has covered just 64,000 miles during its lifetime. Supplied new in December 2006 to Dr. Peagram of Bletchingdon Park by Guy Salmon Jaguar the car has now still had just 3 previous keepers. It can only be described as outstanding will no expense spared on its upkeep and still as beautiful today as when it left the showroom. Driving just a you would expect such a luxurious vehicle to, it glides effortlessly along the road, its 4.2 V8 Supercharged engine barely ticking over. A very rare car indeed and one that will fit in any classic or super car collection and definitely ticks all the boxes. The private registration plate is also included in the sale.
