Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1980 Daimler Sovereign Series 3, finished in Regency Red, presents well with recent mechanical attention and an advisory-free MoT until 2027. Its extensive history file and low keeper count suggest a well-maintained classic, though a past respray may affect its originality for some collectors.
Condition
7
The car drives superbly and has an advisory-free MoT until April 2027. Recent maintenance includes new shock absorbers, bushes, ignition coil, and fuel tank transfer switch. The car has a red vinyl roof with a sunroof and a black leather interior with lambswool overmats. The V5C shows only 4 former keepers, with the latest owner having it for 11 years and the previous owner for 27 years. It comes with a Heritage Certificate and a history file with MoT certificates and maintenance receipts dating back to 2001. The car appears to have been resprayed in Regency Red, a shade subtly different from its original Damson Red. While the mileage is not guaranteed, it is supported by the history file. The interior has lambswool overmats (excluding the driver's side) and an original Philips cassette player with an electric aerial.
