Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Rare Daimler DS420 Limousine from 1987 with glass partition wall
• Powered by the iconic 4.2-liter Jaguar XK six-cylinder inline engine
• Equipped with a refurbished automatic transmission and refurbished carburetors
• Spacious interior with 3 rear seating positions and 2 fold-out auxiliary seats
HISTORIE/OVERZICHT:
The Daimler DS420 Limousine was produced between 1968 and 1992, during which period 24 years only 4,141 units were built. Since both Jaguar and Daimler were under BMC at the time, the DS420 was largely designed by Jaguar and shared crucial components with the brand, including the famed Jaguar XK six-cylinder engine, gearbox and suspension. The DS420 is an iconic state car body style that was widely used for royal families and government services in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Sweden, among others. This particular example is right-hand drive (RHD) from November 2, 1987 with the English registration TIW 8964. The car originates from England and has been with a German owner since 2020, after which the car came into the seller's possession in 2026 via a payment arrangement.
EXTERIOR:
The vehicle is finished in white. The bodywork is in a condition that requires attention. The car has the original English registration number TIW 8964 and chassis number SADDWATL3AC201031.
INTERIOR:
The interior is in reasonable to good, clean and neatly preserved condition without notable stains, appropriate for the age of the car. The cabin is equipped with a glass partition wall between the front seats and the rear. In the rear there is a spacious bench seat with 3 seats supplemented by 2 fold-out auxiliary seats (child seats). The cabin is finished with leather upholstery and handcrafted wooden accents.
MOTOR EN TECHNIEK:
The car is powered by the 4,235 cc Jaguar XK inline-six engine with 2 carburetors, delivering about 162 HP. The engine runs and the car is drivable. The carburetors have been recently refurbished and a refurbished automatic 3-speed gearbox is installed. The brakes are in order and one of the fuel tanks has been cleaned.
DOCUMENTEN:
The original English logbook is present with the vehicle. There is no service book. The car is supplied with 1 key set.
The vehicle can be viewed and collected. Bids are exclusive of transport and export, unless otherwise stated. Arranging transport, title transfer and any export documents/COC costs is the responsibility of the buyer.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
