The extensive history file includes invoices for all the work , original owners manual , original owners service policy, and service vouchers , old mots's etc The restoration was started in 2004 and includes new sills, wings, bare metal respray in its original very dark green ( almost black ) , engine rebuild ( including hepolite pistons , valves, shell bearings, ) gearbox rebuild, diff rebuild .

Heres what Classic & Sports Car says of the Daimler Sovereign " The 420 is just so usable, so comfortable, fast and fun without being tiring. It mollycoddles its driver with power steering, servo brakes, a magic-carpet ride and luxurious leather seats. It will swallow the family and tow a caravan or car trailer as if there’s nothing there. And it never fails to turn heads or elicit favourable comment. It’s still overlooked – even enthusiasts, when it’s mentioned, often think of the 420G and say: “Oh, the big one.” But the 420 was the logical progression from the halfway house (in appearance) of the S-type."
Car is in Rugby Warwickshire. Im only selling as I now have no space and I dont want the car outside. For a quick sale Im selling at £10950. This is not your normal rusty heap . Its a very very solid car that could be developed into a superb example Tel: the details below
