• Just 4 former keepers - previous keeper owned 27 years

On the Surface:

A very nice example of the Series III Daimler Sovereign, this elegant saloon is finished in the attractive Regency Red with a contrasting Black leather interior. The car presents well throughout.

Maintenance & History:

Registered new in 1980, GYY 348W has had just four former keepers, with the previous owner retaining it for an impressive 27 years between 1988 and 2015. It is offered with a history file that includes images and film footage of the car from years past, two Daimler Sovereign 4.2 Driver’s Handbooks and a selection of invoices detailing its upkeep. This provenance underlines the careful custodianship the car has enjoyed throughout its life. Maintained to a high standard under long-term ownership, this Sovereign has been well cared for.

The Model:

Launched in 1979, the Series III iteration of the Daimler Sovereign brought subtle but significant refinements to the XJ6 platform. Externally, the model was identified by its thicker bumpers, revised rear roofline with a more angular C-pillar, and the removal of the separate quarter-light windows from the front doors. Beneath the bonnet lay the renowned 4.2-litre straight-six engine.

Sale Insight:

With just a handful of owners from new and an impressive 27-year period of single ownership prior to the current keeper, this Daimler represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-documented and nicely presented example of the elegant Series III Sovereign.

Estimate:
£2,250 - £3,250
