MOT UNTIL 24TH September 2026 - The Car Zone Winsford is proud to present this beautiful Jaguar/Daimler X300 XJ Saloon LWB for sale here at our site in Winsford Cheshire. ***This vehicle benefits from a recent suspension overhaul. This refurbishment was done at a local vehicle tuning company that specialises in performance and prestige vehicles*** This is really a rather rare example of the X300 XJ saloon in Daimler Six long wheelbase form and boasting the 4-litre AJ16 straight six engine. Only around 1,300 cars left Browns Lane specified as Daimler Six models with only a minority of those likely to have been long wheelbase versions. 44 DXJ appears to have been imported to the UK in 2002 despite clearly being a factory right hand drive, UK specification model. The X300 represents the first Jaguar released under Ford ownership and was only produced for 3 years between 1994 and 1997. '44 DJ' looks every inch the £50,000 quasi-limousine which it would have been in 1997 with its rear doors exhibiting the extra five inches enjoyed by the long wheelbase version. Finished in Lustrous Flamenco Red Metallic paintwork and a set of Jaguar Celtic alloy wheels from the later X308, other features also include the fluted radiator shell and boot trim piece so associated with the Daimler marque. Special red Daimler Six badges and gold radiator trim also really do help set this Daimler apart from other examples. The commodious cabin with its generously extended rear leg room is trimmed in sublime Nimbus Grey Connolly hides. The Six was the most luxuriously appointed of the X300 range and it shows in here. There's lots of inlaid walnut veneer inside including to the rear, individual picnic tables, and special gold finish to the interior brightwork. The AJ16 4-litre straight six engine fitted here is a well-respected unit providing an excellent balance between refinement and performance. With 245bhp originally on tap and power fed through a four-speed automatic transmission, this made for a 140mph plus top speed and a 0-60mph time around the 7. 5 second mark. Pretty impressive for a long wheelbase saloon from 1997.
