The Daimler coupe is one of Britain’s most elegant and uncommon grand tourers, best known in its 1970s form as the Daimler Sovereign Coupe and Double-Six Coupe, the more luxurious Daimler-badged versions of Jaguar’s XJ-C. Built in limited numbers, it paired the graceful pillarless two-door body with the refinement expected of the Daimler name: rich leather, polished timber, restrained chrome and a quiet, stately character. Under the bonnet, buyers could find smooth six-cylinder power or the magnificent V12 in the Double-Six, making it a relaxed yet capable long-distance cruiser.

Its rarity is part of the appeal. The coupe body was difficult to perfect, with wind noise and sealing challenges delaying production, so the model had a short lifespan and relatively low build numbers. Today, that makes it especially desirable among collectors who appreciate classic Jaguar engineering with an extra layer of Daimler prestige. Its pillarless profile, broad stance and formal roofline give it a presence that feels equally at home outside a country estate or cruising an Australian coastal road.
