1960s and 1970s Daimler cars were, to a greater or lesser extent, rebadged Jaguars, typically more highly appointed for a superior level of luxury. Initially these were equipped with a Daimler engine (for example the Daimler 250), but the Sovereign was all-Jaguar. The series 2 Daimler Sovereign, produced from 1973-79 was effectively an extra-flash Jaguar XJ6. But the car pictured here is a variant of the typical 4-door series 2 Sovereign saloon - a 2-door coupé with a 4.2L (4235cc) engine - only available 1975-78. This one was registered in September 1977. Fantastic looking car!
