Auction description:

The Classic Sale at the Warwickshire Event Centre

Lot Number: 922

1976 Daimler Double-Six Coupé - Manual

Registration Number OBD 764P

MOT Expiry 05/11/2025

Chassis Number 2F1127BW

Engine Number 7P.30053-SA

Transmission Manual

Body Colour Squadron Blue

A perfect blend of style, performance and rarity, only 372 right-hand drive examples of these elegant pillarless coupés were built, all with automatic transmission as a manual gearbox was not an option

This Series II is powered by Jaguar's 5.3-litre fuel-injected V12 generating 285bhp at 5,750rpm which was sufficient to propel the independently sprung coupé to 60mph in 7.2 seconds and on to 150mph

Comprehensively restored over the years commencing in 1991 and completed around 2009 with a detailed photographic record

Our Jaguar enthusiast/engineer vendor often wondered what his sleek Squadron Blue Coupé would be like with the more sporty manual gearbox and decided one day, having carried out a similar conversion on his XJS, that's what he wanted to do

A 4-speed manual gearbox from an XJ-S was sourced and installed with the whole process aided by our vendor's experience of a similar conversion and the car is now quicker and more enjoyable to hustle down country roads without the inevitable frustrations of a, slow to respond, automatic box

Its unique appeal resulted in magazine articles and significantly, OBD 764P is featured in Jaguar XJ Series Saloons by Mark Sutherland (Foreword by Quentin Wilson) with images shot at Wappenbury Hall, former home of Sir William Lyons

Finished in Squadron Blue with a black Everflex roof over a gently patinated tan leather interior and sitting on period-correct 'Kent' alloys

Supplied with its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, a copy of Mark Sutherland's book, the restoration photographic record, its V5C, many older invoices and items of correspondence

Sold for: £19,125

The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
