This particular example has been in long-term storage for many years and, while it does run, a full recommissioning service is recommended for serious road use. The interior is in beautiful original condition, a testament to the car’s careful preservation, with its deep darker blue upholstery providing a striking contrast to the light blue bodywork, the paintwork would benefit from improvement to bring it back to its former glory.

Showing only 50,169 miles, the car’s paperwork includes the current V5C recording just two previous keepers, further underlining its rarity and originality.

The Daimler 420 remains a refined and capable saloon, combining Jaguar’s engineering prowess with Daimler’s traditional craftsmanship. With originality, low mileage, and a wonderfully preserved cabin, this car offers an excellent basis for sympathetic restoration. Once recommissioned and tidied, it could prove to be one of the more rewarding survivors of the model.

Has been starting and driving on site for the videos and photographs, please note its running on a temporary fuel supply inside the boot that can be seen in the images.

Super rare British luxury saloon, try finding another!
