G-MANN ◊ 2012-01-30 22:21	That's what I think, due to the chrome door handles.

Sandie ◊ 2012-01-30 23:08	The alloys are the same design as the XJR so probably not original to this car.

Sandie ◊ 2012-01-31 21:03	As best I can tell lack of a chrome side strip means V8. Super V8 has one but the ordinary V8 does not. Pic for reference: -- Last edit: 2012-01-31 21:06:09
G-MANN ◊ 2012-01-31 21:08	But on the X308 version I think the chrome strip went along the side trim on the lower part of the doors instead of higher up and going along the length of the car like with previous Daimlers. Eg: http://www.cannell.co.uk/Daimler%20Super%20V8%20R.htm (Google images will show other examples) I think the Super V8 was the supercharged version (both had the same 4.0 V8 engine). By default I'd just list as V8 unless certain. -- Last edit: 2012-01-31 21:23:24
