Description
Presenting this wonderful LWB Daimler Sovereign finished in damson red and complemented with full beige leather seats and a black vinyl roof, this vehicle has been with its present owner for the last 38 years, and he has sadly had to give up driving through health reasons. The vehicle has been garaged since his ownership and is now MOT and tax exempt.

The Coventry firm’s marketing people called it “the finest Jaguar ever”, which wasn’t hyperbole because it set a new standard for saloon car civility and luxury.The first model ran up until 1973, albeit with a few upgrades along the way, including a new three-speed automatic transmission that allowed keen drivers to hold onto the lower ratios for longer, improving acceleration. Cosmetic changes included the option of a long-wheelbase version in 1972, which gave the rear passengers an extra four inches of legroom. The Series II cars arrived in 1973 with a modest facelift that included a lower radiator grille and raised bumpers to meet Federal impact legislation. More significantly, buyers were now restricted to the ultra-pretty short-wheelbase Coupé or the long-wheelbase saloon;
