Daimler - Sovereign 4.2 Series 1 - 1970

PANORAMICA/CONDIZIONI Sono state prodotte 98.527 Jaguar XJ e Daimler Sovereign 1a serie. Tra queste, solo 726 in versione Daimler 4.2 con guida a sinistra. Pochissime di queste erano dotate di cambio meccanico con overdrive, il cliente Daimler amava il comfort più che la guida sportiva! La vettura in asta è tra le prime prodotte, nel 1970, esattamente la 98esima. E' stata prodotta nel 1970, ad ottobre, e immatricolata in Italia, a Venezia, nel gennaio 1971. Da allora ha avuto 5 proprietari e ha viaggiato fino al 2005. Le linee della vettura sono dritte e non fanno pensare a danni subìti per incidenti; i fari anteriori Lucas con il vetro piatto (difficili da reperire, oggi si trovano solo quelli con vetro curvo) e la mascherina integra lasciano supporre che l'auto non sia mai stata urtata. Tuttavia sono presenti alcuni punti di corrosione, anche passante. Le cromature sono in condizioni discrete e una lucidatura con i prodotti idonei le riporta accettabilissime. Il pianale sembra integro, senza ruggine. Gli interni sono completi ed in discrete/buone condizioni, ma i sedili sono stati rivestiti con materiale (pelle o similpelle) non corretti, pur rispettando il disegno e le cuciture originali. Il motore gira liberamente ma non è stato messo in moto . L'olio è al livello corretto e non presenta tracce di altri liquidi. Il cambio, dotato di overdrive, innesta perfettamente le marce. Questa Sovereign è un'auto di grande interesse per l'appassionato del marchio Jaguar-Daimler; mantiene molte caratteristiche e optional oriiginali che ne fanno un pezzo molto raro: il cambio meccanico con overdrive, il condizionatore d'origine, 4 vetri elettrici, poggiatesta anteriori e soprattutto i vetri azzurrati Sundym! Vale un restauro! DOCUMENTAZIONE Sono presenti i certificati cronologici e la denuncia di cessazione della circolazione nel 2005. Si consiglia di verificare il processo di registrazione nel proprio paese di destinazione. Vettura visibile a Gallarate, Italia.

Daimler - Sovereign 4.2 Series 1 - 1970

OVERVIEW/CONDITIONS
98,527 Jaguar XJ and Daimler Sovereign 1st series were produced. Of these, only 726 were in the Daimler 4.2 version with left-hand drive. Very few of these were equipped with a manual gearbox with overdrive, the Daimler customer loved comfort more than sporty driving!

The car up for auction is among the first produced, in 1970, exactly the 98th.

It was produced in 1970, in October, and registered in Italy, in Venice, in January 1971. Since then it has had 5 owners and traveled until 2005.

The lines of the car are straight and do not suggest damage suffered in accidents; the Lucas headlights with flat glass (difficult to find, today you can only find those with curved glass) and the intact grille suggest that the car has never been hit. However, there are some points of corrosion, even through. The chrome is in fair condition and a polishing with suitable products brings it back to very acceptable. The floor seems intact, without rust.

The interior is complete and in fair/good condition, but the seats have been reupholstered with incorrect material (leather or imitation leather), while still respecting the original design and stitching.

The engine runs freely but has not been started. The oil is at the correct level and shows no traces of other fluids. The gearbox, equipped with overdrive, shifts perfectly.

This Sovereign is a car of great interest to the Jaguar-Daimler brand enthusiast; it retains many original features and options that make it a very rare piece: the manual gearbox with overdrive, the original air conditioning, 4 electric windows, front headrests and above all the Sundym tinted windows!

It's worth a restoration!
