Restored in mid-2003, the Daimler comes with invoices in its history file from this period for in the region of £14k.

Work completed at the time included engine removal, strip and replacement, removal and fitting an air-conditioning system from a donor car and a full, bare-metal body repaint.

The rear arches were also altered to accommodate new wheels and tyres.

Further invoices in the car’s history file show it to have been previously restored in the early 1990s, with comprehensive work carried out to the bodyshell including completely new floors, inner and outer sills, suspension mounts, rear valances, lower rear quarters, boot floor, rear wings and door skins.

The engine also had a full rebuild at that point.

The previous vendor owned this Daimler for nearly three years.

During that time there was a cost of rebuilding the automatic gearbox of £1,900, and restorative works to the braking system coming in at £375.

It’s a majestic looking old thing, the Daimler Sovereign Coupe.
