The 1977 Daimler Sovereign 4.2 XJ6 represents an era when British luxury and refinement merged with impressive performance. Based on the legendary Jaguar XJ6, this model came under the Daimler label, synonymous with added comfort and exclusivity. With its stately appearance, elegant lines and distinctive grille, this car already managed to distinguish itself within the luxury sedan segment at the time.
Under the hood is a 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine, mated to an automatic transmission.

The engine is known for its reliability and balanced performance, so that even today this classic is still convincing in its driving.

The interior exudes timeless elegance, with classic wood trim on the dashboard and doors. The seats offer comfortable seating and the materials show the quality characteristic of this period. The car comes with the original owner's manual.
