AI Listing Summary
This 1969 Daimler Sovereign, estimated at £16,000 - £20,000, is a rare RHD example (1 of 5,476 made) from the Dr James Hull collection. Finished in British Racing Green with Suede Green leather, it displays a credible but unwarranted 90,000 miles and benefits from past restoration work, presenting a handsome 1960s saloon with a fresh MOT expected by the time of sale.

Differentiated from its badge-engineered sibling by means of a fluted radiator grille and better standard equipment, it otherwise shared the same four-door monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent coil-sprung suspension, servo-assisted four-wheel disc brakes and a detuned version (245bhp vs.
265bhp) of the Jaguar MKX's 4235cc DOHC straight-six engine.
In many ways a testbed for the forthcoming Jaguar XJ6's styling and mechanical layout, the Daimler Sovereign remained in production until 1969 by which time some 5,829 left- and right-hand drive examples are thought to have been made.
