1969 Daimler 420 Sovereign 4.2

The Jaguar 420 and its Daimler Sovereign equivalent were introduced at the October 1966 London Motor Show and produced for two years as the ultimate expression of a series of "compact sporting saloons" offered by Jaguar throughout that decade, all of which shared the same wheelbase. Developed from the Jaguar S-Type, the 420 cost around £200 more than that model and effectively ended buyer interest in it, although the S-Type continued to be sold alongside the 420/Sovereign until both were supplanted by the Jaguar XJ6 late in 1968.

Offered for sale as a complete restoration project is PKN 493G, we are informed by the vendor that the car is complete and comes with a V5 registration document and a single MOT certificate that was issued in November of 2005. These cars were manufactured for a very short space of time and as such are quite a rare site on the UK roads nowadays, a great opportunity to purchase a very stylish classic Daimler for the basis of a restoration programme.
