Description Showing just 39,596 miles; powered by the 2,792cc six-cylinder engine coupled to an automatic gearbox; restoration photographs and a collection of invoices documenting work carried out over the years Few cars epitomise traditional British luxury quite as effectively as the Daimler Sovereign.

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.
