Daimler Double-Six, good condition V12 luxury car. Current MOT, tool kit, recent headlining.

Daimler Double-Six piston engine was a sleeve-valve V12 engine manufactured by The Daimler Company Limited of Coventry, England between 1926 and 1938 in four different sizes for their flagship cars.

Originally fitted with carburettors, the V12s received electronic fuel injection in 1975. In 1981, the engines were improved with higher efficiency (HE) cylinder heads. After two decades, the enlarged 6 litre V12 was offered in production in the XJS and Daimler Double Six, from 1991 and 1993 respectively. Including the V12 E-Type mark 3 models, and in the XJS (from 1975 to 1996), Jaguar made a total of 161,583 V12-engined cars. The Jaguar V12 was regarded as one of the premier power plants of the 1970s and 1980s. After launching the second generation XJ series in 1986, Jaguar developed their V12 into the racing engines that brought two overall victories at the 24 hours of Le Mans endurance races of 1988 and 1990.
