Super V8

Dealer comment

*** Rare LWB Daimler Super V8 – Rear Executive Seating – Westminster Blue over Cashmere Beige – 4.0 Supercharged V8 – The Pinnacle of British Luxury – Collectible & Remarkable in Every Way ***

Your Opportunity:
This is not just any Jaguar. This is the 1998 Daimler Super V8, the flagship of the X308 lineup, and one of the last true Daimlers ever produced. Finished in formal Westminster Blue Metallic over Cashmere Beige ruched leather, this rare Long Wheelbase (LWB) example is fitted with the ultra-rare Rear Executive Seating Package, making it one of the most luxurious and distinguished saloons ever sold in Australia.

With just over 180,000km, this example has aged gracefully — a modern classic with old-world British charm and contemporary performance, powered by the 4.0L supercharged AJ-V8 borrowed from the legendary XJR.

A Brief History – The Last of a Royal Bloodline:
Daimler, Britain’s oldest automotive marque, was long regarded as the royal family’s preferred choice — with a heritage dating back to 1896. The Super V8 badge represents the ultimate evolution of Jaguar’s XJ, combining the muscular supercharged performance of the XJR with traditional Daimler luxury, including chrome flourishes, unique badging, and interiors fit for heads of state.

Produced in limited numbers between 1997 and 2002, the X308-based Daimler Super V8 was the last Daimler ever built in series production, making it a highly collectible and significant vehicle in British motoring history.

Colour & Trim – Regal in Every Sense:
The car is finished in Westminster Blue Metallic, a deep and refined navy favoured on diplomatic and royal Daimlers, paired with Cashmere Beige ruched leather. The interior is further elevated by walnut veneers, fold-out picnic trays, and Daimler’s signature touches that distinguish it from any Jaguar sibling.

Why This Car?
This Daimler Super V8 is not just rare — it’s historically significant. It represents the end of an era for one of Britain’s most revered marques. With its executive rear seating, LWB chassis, and supercharged powertrain, it is a truly unique offering — the perfect garage centrepiece, Sunday cruiser, or future investment.
