derskine Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Nice one. Must say, I do like these big things. Magnificent Rustbucket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Breadvan72 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This one is for sale at my local garage. Quite a high asking price, but it looks pretty good close up, with no visible bleb. Sadly, some clot has put a leaper on the bonnet. Fat_Pirate, Magnificent Rustbucket, Skizzer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Rustbucket Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 These earlyish 3.6 litre Daimlers are rare now. I'm not sure it is that expensive these days if it genuinely doesn't have much rust on it. The XJ40 has risen in value quite a lot in the last year or two - albeit from a very low base. This one has the only thing more ridiculous than a Jaguar Leaper - a Daimler one. I wonder what it was on originally? - It looks to be a bit too small to be from a DS420, so perhaps a 'sixties 250V8?

Guest Breadvan72 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I didn't know that Daimlers ever had leapers. I IZ LERN STUF! Magnificent Rustbucket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
320touring Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Check how many bits of paper, manuals and books came with this mutthaflippah! Got 3 workshop manuals (1 Haynes, the red one and one on CD) 2 owners manuals, with 1 supplement The pre delivery inspection report with garage check sheets And a variety of random 'service directories' etc. Not to mention a SH that goes up to 87k or there abouts.

Your interior looks really nice, fresh and clean.Have a look on ebay-bound to be some x300ones kicking about! The interior is OK,could do with a good clean, plust the wood is rough, but I should be able to sort that easily enough with spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insideimsmiling Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 There is a certain magic when you sit behind the wheel of an old Jag that just cannot be replicated or beaten..........unless you have a Daimler! I just love the look of that steering wheel with the Daimler script sunk deep in the leather. Is it wrong to fantasise about caressing and inhaling your magnificent steering wheel. Phew, it's hot in here! Magnificent Rustbucket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
