Auction description:

Lot Number 740

1976 Daimler Sovereign 4.2-Litre Coupé

A rare, late production, Daimler Coupé with an interesting civic history and Mayoral duties in London.

This lovely example dates from 05/01/1976 and has a particularly interesting pedigree

It was previously owned by Sir Anthony Jolliffe, who was the Sheriff of London in 1980 and the Mayor of London in 1982

Subject to a three-year, glass out, bare metal, new panel restoration in 1988

It was refinished in its original Signal Red and fully retrimmed in tan leather

The engine was completely dismantled, the crank reground, new pistons fitted and the gearbox stripped and rebuilt

New suspension, steering, brakes, radiator, exhaust and road wheels were fitted together with both front and rear screens and seals

It is as immaculate today as it was when it reappeared after its three-year restoration programme and drives beautifully

Less than 70 of these elegant pillarless coupés are left in the UK with very few in this remarkable condition

Registration Number MGV 613P
