The most desirable Daimler worldwide – Daimler Century 1/100. Renovation carried out in 2021.
Simply untraceable. Simply unique. A Daimler Century doesn’t really need words, enthusiasts know enough.Simply untraceable. Simply unique. A Daimler Century doesn’t really need words, enthusiasts know enough.
1996, 100 years of history. This was celebrated with two special models; the Daimler Century. Supplied in 4.0 straight-six and 6.0 V12. Each model performed in Long Wheel Base. It had to be the most luxurious, most complete Daimler ever, a special model. Only 100 units of both engine types were produced to ensure exclusivity.
Everything about the Daimler Century exudes quality and luxury. The beautiful Turbine rims, fully chromed. Black Century emblems, gold inlaid. Luxurious burr walnut of the highest quality, “Century” inlaid. Almost every interior part is finished with the soft-touch, fine Analine leather. A Harman Kardon sound system with 9 speakers and 240 watts of power.
Never before have you even found a memory function for the fully electrically adjustable seat on the passenger side, only in Century models. Although the luxury captain chairs in the back did not actually make their appearance until 1997 during the inauguration of the new type X308, Daimler had the scoop with the Century; in the rear compartment you will find the electrically adjustable and heated separate seats, with the typical Daimler logo on each headrest. The make-up mirrors, recessed into the headliner and turned slightly towards each seat, complete the picture.
Originally, the Century was delivered new in the Netherlands. The 6.0 V12 Century features an equally rare color; Kingfisher Blue. The interior is made of beautiful Silk White leather. You will find leather everywhere, even on the door panels. Beautiful but also very unique. Of course you will find burr walnut in abundance, of course with a hand inlaid Century logo.
At the time, a Daimler Six Century had a price of FL247,000, this Double Six left Coventry for FL260,000. An amount in that time comparable to the price of a new Bentley today, just to name one example.
As indicated earlier, this Daimler was purchased from us in 2021 and renovated in our management immediately after purchase, on behalf of the customer. No expense has been spared to make this unique, limited classic into a great handling and superb looking machine.
The Century has been worked on for almost a year, it concerns a huge list of activities. Professionals are called in for every specific job, because every specialist knows his own field best. To name a few points; existing rust was removed, the sheet metal was repaired. We are not talking about a simple repair, but about craftsmanship. Fitting in a new fender rim is not a job you can do on every street corner, at least not when the result counts. Renovation of the upholstery is also an art in itself. And what about the lovely 6.0 V12? Both head gaskets have been renewed, the heads have of course been flattened. Rear springs and shock absorbers were replaced, the sliding roof was renovated, the headliner was of course renewed. This, and much, much more.
Documentation of this renovation is of course available in the form of invoices and a digital file containing more than 300 photos. There is footage of before, during and after the renovation.
This Daimler Century, originally delivered in the Netherlands, is ready for its next life with an enthusiast.
Service history and key set are fully complete.
There is still much to be said about this special Daimler Century, but of course you only get a good picture when you look at the car and drive it. you are most welcome in Oirschot, the coffee is ready.
