1998 Daimler V8 (LWB with twin rear seats) SOLD

This is the "ministerial" model with electric sun roof, rear blind, all electric twin rear seats with extra legroom in the back, cruise control, etc. etc,.

Everything works and the total mileage is 61K with a new Jaguar warranty replacement engine fitted in 2002 at 23K miles (so only 38, 000 miles on the engine)

I bought this car from Hatfields (Sheffield main Dealer) in April 2000 and always used it as a second car and for occasional business travel for many years. More recently it has covered approximately 1K per year until this summer when my son borrowed it and ran up 2K in two months whilst waiting for his new car to arrive!

This is an impressive car but although it runs great and looks fantastic it is now an MOT fail! - The immediate issues are relatively easy to fix (see MOT notes - exhaust leak, offside front tyre, and offside front brake pipe) but some serious body work is needed to do a proper lasting job.

The current MOT runs out on December 1st and being long retired I have no longer any need for such a large car. It is therefore for sale, I hope to an enthusiast, who can restore it to its former glory!

Please note:
The registration is now R671 NWK
I have all the service records and MOT certificates to verify the mileage.
The gearbox oil and filter was changed at the last full service by David Marks (it was still clean!)
The carpets are still like new as they have been protected by the lambswool overmats.
The spare is new and the rear tyres have done approx 3K miles.
The wheels are unkerbed and still look good.

This car is easily worth more as spares but it would be a shame to break such a nice car.
