1972 Daimler Sovereign Series One 4.2 Litre Saloon

The appeal of the Series One to enthusiasts is down to its purity of design and its relative rarity. It was also built before British Leyland began influencing Jaguar's activities so product quality is considered to be better. This best-of-breed Series One Daimler Sovereign has recently been the subject of a total restoration by a specialist company to a truly superb standard. This has included a full bare metal respray in Jaguar Dark Blue, all new chrome front and rear bumpers and over riders, new windscreen rubbers, fully detailed engine bay, new headlining and original leather re-connolised.

The whole car is absolutely first class with an invoice for over £24,000 on the restoration alone. With only three owners and a genuine sub-60,000miles from new this unblemished saloon is accompanied by 32 years of previous MoT's and a substantial history file including a Heritage Certificate. It is even fitted with an LPG tank behind a false screen in the boot, though it is not currently connected.

This numbers matching Daimler is undoubtedly one of the best, if not THE best in the market today and would make a welcome addition to any collection or enthusiasts stable. Silverstone Auctions have had past success with similar Daimlers and anticipate a steady rise in value and appreciation.
