Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1964 Daimler 420 Sovereign is a classic example, derived from the Jaguar Mk. X, featuring a 4.2 litre XK straight-six engine and automatic gearbox. The car comes with a history file documenting restoration work from the 90s, making it an appealing entry-level classic, sold without reserve.
Condition
7
Based on the listing, the car is presented well and described as an excellent starter classic. There's evidence of restoration work completed between 1992 and 1995. However, the listing does not fully specify the current cosmetic or mechanical state, meaning a 'Very Good' condition is most appropriate, suggesting that minor reconditioning may be required to return it to an excellent state.
