This 1976 Sovereign Coupe looks great in Pale Primrose (why aren't more cars painted this colour?) set off by the black vinyl roof and chrome wire wheels. It also has a ginormous Webasto sunroof that, when rolled back, will enable you to enjoy both days that constitute the British summer. Better still, it also has the rare manual gearbox with electronic overdrive which allows you to exploit that creamy XK twin cam's 245 horses to the full.

The car was in long-term ownership for 22 years (1994 - 2016) but unfortunately spent its latter years in storage, which means that it will require some TLC from its new owner. Last MOT'd in 2008, it is a runner but it's a brave man or a classic car journalist who would take it out on the road without giving it a thorough check-over first.

There are some spares with the car along with an original handbook, six past MOTs, sundry invoices and a Heritage Certificate.
