Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This is a great exampled 1968 Daimler Sovereign finished in Opalescent Silver Blue. Under the ownership of The Vendor for the past three years, this classic has undergone transformation from an incomplete project to its current condition.

Additionally, the offering features carpets, three inner tubes, and the original radio panel and fixings, although The Vendor has crafted and fitted a new panel to accommodate a modern radio. History: The history file of this Daimler Sovereign, reveals invoices, totaling nearly £2,000, for investment in various components such as carpets, badges, headlights, mirrors, brake servo and more. The Model: The Daimler Sovereigns were crafted on contemporary Jaguar bodyshells, chassis and engines. Originating from the collaboration between Jaguar Cars and The Daimler Company, the 1966 Sovereign marked the second instance of Daimler utilising a Jaguar model as its base. Notably, this Sovereign is equipped with a 3.8-litre engine sourced from a 1960s Jaguar S-Type, deviating from the original 4.2-litre engine typically found in a Sovereign. The precise details of this engine swap remain unknown, as it was already in place when The Vendor acquired the vehicle.
