Gentlemen’s Clubs on Wheels – The 1978 Daimler Double Six

The 1978 Daimler Double Six is an outstanding example of British luxury motoring. With its 5.3-litre V12 engine producing 242 bhp and an elegant body based on the Jaguar XJ series, this classic offers not only impressive performance but also unparalleled comfort.

The V12 engine delivers powerful performance, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The interior is appointed with fine leather and exquisite wood veneer, underscoring the vehicle’s high level of luxury.

Highlights of this car include the 5.3-litre V12 engine with 285 bhp, the three-speed automatic gearbox, the sumptuous leather and wood trim, and its limited production numbers, making it a rare collector’s piece.

This Daimler was delivered in November 1978 to its first owner in the Fluntern district of Zurich. The most recent owner has spared no expense and has invested repeatedly in the limousine since 2022, with a valid vintage MOT dating from the same year. As the Daimler is offered as a no-reserve vehicle, some work may still be required in the future – please refer to our workshop check.

The 1978 Daimler Double Six represents the pinnacle of British automotive craftsmanship and offers a unique opportunity for collectors to acquire a true masterpiece of luxury motoring.

Auction hammer price and minimum bid

The bid is accepted by the highest bidder after the minimum price or higher has been reached, either after the bidding period has expired or at the moment when no further bids are submitted and the auction is closed by Emil Frey Classics.

Acceptance of the minimum bid – “Sold”

When the bid is accepted and the minimum bid (minimum price) or higher is reached, a legally binding purchase contract is concluded between the seller and the highest bidder.

Bid accepted below the minimum bid – “Reserved, not sold”

If a bid is made at a price below the minimum bid (minimum price), the vehicle is considered “not sold subject to reservation.” Vehicles that could not be sold during the auction or for which the minimum bid was not reached can be renegotiated after the auction in consultation with the consignor or owner. In such cases, Emil Frey Classics acts exclusively as an intermediary between the potential buyer and the consignor or owner, unless it expressly acts as the seller itself. A purchase contract is only concluded with the express consent of both parties.

Reservation of Emil Frey Classics

Emil Frey Classics reserves the right to decide freely on the acceptance of bids. In particular, it may refuse or cancel the bid, interrupt or cancel the auction, withdraw the auction item or put it up for auction again, and reject bids.
