Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1969 Daimler Sovereign, based on the Jaguar XJ6, features a 2.8-litre engine, 4-speed manual with overdrive, and a dark blue leather interior. It has low mileage in the last decade, comes with original documentation, and is being sold due to storage constraints.
Condition
6
The car is described as having a gently patinated interior, great condition dashboard veneers, and door cards, suggesting caring ownership. However, it has covered very little mileage in the last decade and is being sold due to storage issues, implying it may need some mechanical attention. The exterior is not explicitly described in detail, so a definitive rating is challenging. However, it does reference "exterior".

Description
The new Series 1 XJ6-based Daimler Sovereign was introduced in October 1969, virtually identical to the Jaguar with the exception of its fluted grille and Daimler badging This lovely Series 1 is finished in the rather conservatively named Jaguar Pale Blue and is fitted with a 2.8-litre, straight-six XK engine with a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive The gently patinated dark blue leather interior feels intimate yet enormously stylish, dashboard veneers and door cards etc. are in great condition suggesting caring ownership for many years
Supplied with its original handbook, diagrams and many MOTs dating back to 1984 Having covered very little mileage in the last decade, corroborated by its MOT history, this example was acquired by our vendor around four years ago though unfortunately he is now losing his storage and so the car has to go Exterior
