- This video was shot the day I first got the Daimler, it's a 'warts n all' look at the car, focusing on the interior and showing the dials, gauges and controls.

This channel is slowly becoming my fave right now, its calls out to me 😂
SUCH a good video going live shortly...
Need this in my life!!
Very nice car and I personally prefer this car to the series 3. My take on this fine car was that the square head lights that match the rear square tail lights, were influenced by the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit which was introduced six years earlier. William Lyons always considered his saloon cars to be in the class of Rolls Royce but much cheaper and sportier. John Eagan who was in charge of jaguar at the time, was a little reluctant with this car and the square lights. However William Lyons who had been retired since 1972, but often put his own time in at the Jaguar design department, told John Eagan that they should go with the square head lights. So that is why I believe that it was the influence of the Rolls Royce Silver Spirit, that made William Lyons endorse this design. What ever negitive things one might have to say about the XJ40 it was a very balanced and harmonous design. 👍
Those tables in the back look ace for your "things"
I was bidding on this on e bay when u had ot for sale, nice car
The only thing I like in the Daimler better than the Sovereign are them picnic tables
it's all about the picnic tables!
That mat is the proper mat for the car, there should have been four, one in each floor well. They are lambs wool and the drivers would have a heal pad with Daimler embroidered on it. Had two XJ40 Daimler's now have the X308 version.
i have one from 1987 also daimler but on the back seats where the air vents are in the middle I have a red button?
lol im actually considering buying this very car and found this video whilst wondering if it was a good buy or not!
They are so beautiful inside and drive GREAT !!!

A car to have a British Holiday in with the family and the car gets caught in an old photograph years from now !!!
