Original Launch on the Jaguar XJ (X308) Platform
The first Daimler Super Eight (also referred to as the Super V8) was produced from July 1997 to December 2002, covering model years 1998‑2003. It was assembled in Coventry, England, and shared its underpinnings with the Jaguar XJ (X308).
Close Alliance with the Third‑Generation Jaguar XJ (X350)
A later version of the Super Eight is described as being closely allied to the third‑generation Jaguar XJ (X350), which was released in 2003. That generation received a mid‑life facelift in 2007 (known as the X358), keeping the Super Eight’s design linked to Jaguar’s evolving flagship.
Modern Revival and High‑Spec Heritage
Owned by Jaguar since the 1960s, Daimler has a tradition of creating high‑spec models based on Jaguar’s flagship cars, and the brand announced a return with an all‑new Super Eight model slated for showroom launch in November. The revived Super Eight is noted for its rarity, ultra‑clean condition, and premium appointments such as heated seats, air‑conditioning, alloy wheels, cruise control, and a sunroof.
