Chassis number 2H2081BW was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being registered new on the 23rd of February 1977. Fitted with the 4245cc straight-six engine allied to the three-speed automatic transmission, the Daimler is finished in the attractive colour combination of Red with Beige leather interior upholstery, and a Black Everflex roof. The odometer records the mileage at 65,728 miles, which is believed but not warranted, to be genuine. In long-term previous ownership, the Daimler is understood to have been taken off the road in 1997. Remaining off the road until the present day, the Sovereign Coupe is offered for sale running and driving, however, it will require some recommissioning before being pressed into road use. Accompanied by the owner’s and servicing handbook, as well as a V5C document, this is a rare opportunity to purchase one of these stylish three-door Coupes, that were in production for a mere three years.
