restoration photographs and a collection of invoices documenting work carried

Few cars epitomise traditional British luxury
quite as effectively as the Daimler Sovereign. Sharing the elegant lines and
refined engineering of the Jaguar XJ series but distinguished by its own unique
character and prestige, the Sovereign offered owners a wonderfully civilised
motoring experience and remains one of the most handsome sporting saloons of the
1970s.
First registered in August 1972, this Daimler 2.8 Sovereign is
powered by the 2,792cc six-cylinder engine coupled to an automatic gearbox, a
combination perfectly suited to relaxed and effortless touring. Finished in dark
green and complemented by a lovely tan interior complete with traditional wooden
dashboard facings, it presents as a fitting example of British executive
motoring from the era.
Showing just 39,596 miles, the Daimler has clearly
been cherished throughout its life and is accompanied by a useful history file.
Included within the paperwork are the V5C, five previous MOT certificates,
restoration photographs and a collection of invoices documenting work carried
out over the years.
The interior remains a particularly inviting place to
spend time, with the rich wood veneer and tan trim providing exactly the sort of
ambience that made these Daimlers such desirable motor cars when new. Combined
with the graceful styling and long bonnet, it remains a car that attracts
admiration wherever it goes.
The car has been starting readily on the
button whilst on site for photography and video purposes, further supporting the
impression of a well-maintained and usable example.
Elegant, refined and
increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts, this Daimler Sovereign offers a
wonderful opportunity to acquire a true slice of 1970s luxury motoring.
Combining handsome looks, low indicated mileage and a pleasing history file, it
is a car that looks ready to be enjoyed by its next
custodian.
