SUMMARY
An original UK-supplied Daimler Sovereign believed to be an ex-Police car. In need of recommissioning and offered without Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced at the 1966 London Motor Show, the Daimler Sovereign (and its sibling Jaguar 420) were 'compact sporting saloons' produced for only two years before the arrival of the XJ6
- UK-supplied, the vehicle is believed to be an ex-Police car, being purchased in November 2013 by our vendor having just two previous keepers
- Powered by the ubiquitous 4.2-litre six-cylinder XK unit offering 245bhp at 5,500rpm, coupled with automatic transmission and benefiting from power steering
- Has not run in a number of years so will need a full mechanical recommission. Believed to have been repainted
- In period, the Jaguar 420 was an 'executive express' with the style of the Mark X and the sporting credentials of the Mk2. The Sovereign shared all of these qualities and was perceived as a little more 'up-market'
