Introduced in 1966, the Daimler Sovereign was a more luxurious version of the contemporaneous Jaguar 420. Differentiated from its sibling by means of a fluted radiator grille and better standard equipment, it otherwise shared the same monocoque bodyshell equipped with all-round independent suspension, servo-assisted 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. Among the rarest of the Browns Lane-designed Daimlers, the Sovereign is a highly underrated motorcar combining as it does an elegant 1960s design with surprisingly modern road manners.
First registered in Burnley on 11th June 1969 (or so its ‘LCW 930G’ number plate would imply), chassis 1A35415BW has been part of the late Mr Lucas’s collection since at least 1977 showing no former keepers on its accompanying V5C. Finished in Brown and pleasingly retaining its original Tan leather upholstery, the Daimler is believed but not warranted to have covered 62,300 miles from new. Not started in some time, it will require recommissioning / refurbishment prior to use.
