AI Listing Summary

This 1971 Daimler Sovereign 4.2 Series I is a project car with low mileage (73,266 miles) and has been in long-term storage. While the engine turns and it appears mostly complete, it requires thorough recommissioning and has bodywork imperfections, making it a restoration opportunity.

Condition

3

The car is a project car that has been in long-term storage and will require thorough recommissioning. While the engine turns and it last passed an MOT in 2014 with minor advisories, it has not been driven recently. The description notes 'various bodywork imperfections' and that a logbook is not supplied, requiring a new V5C application. This aligns with 'Below Average' condition due to several cosmetic issues and the need for substantial reconditioning.

Description 1971 Daimler Sovereign saloon; seemingly complete project car; engine turns; showing just 73,266 miles and four previous keepers; from long term storage Distinguished by its elegant styling and the marque's iconic fluted grille, this 1971 Daimler Sovereign 4.2 Series I represents an increasingly scarce opportunity to acquire one of Britain's finest sporting saloons, Finished in a handsome dark blue, the car retains all the grace and presence for which the Series I Daimler is renowned.

Showing 73,266 miles, it is accompanied by some early service history dating from the late 1970s through to 1989, by which point the mileage stood at approximately 59,000.

This suggests very limited use since.

Originally supplied by Stratstone, the Sovereign forms part of a deceased estate and appears to have last changed hands in 2011.

The vehicle has been in storage for some time and the engine turns freely, but has not been driven recently therefore it will need thorough recommissioning...
