1971 Daimler Sovereign 4.2
Background check
Description
Looking for a classic sedan? This 1971 Daimler Sovereign 4.2 Series 1 is a well-regarded example of British luxury from the early 1970s. It features the 4.2-litre inline-six engine that became synonymous with refinement and smooth power delivery in its era.
This particular car is an imported model when new and I'm the third New Zealand owner. The auto gearbox suits the car's relaxed character well. It's a proper 5-seater with space inside for passengers.
The Sovereign nameplate represented Daimler's premium offering, built with attention to detail and quality materials. These cars were known for their comfortable ride and solid build quality. This one remains in good running order and presents well for its age.
If you're after a classic British sedan with presence and a bit of history, this could be worth a look. The 4.2-litre engine provides good performance while the auto makes it easy to drive around town or on longer runs.

It's not rusty but there are a few areas I have fixed myself around the back of the guards and the bottom of the driver's door. But if a car is rusty you can't get a wof. It's an excellent example and came out of a barn find before COVID. I had this as my project. But I'm just not driving it. A new owner would do her good. brackenridge (442 • Monday, 20 April 2026good to hear not rusty im way down in invers wont be able to test drive but we both have phones with cameras if i contact you and liked it would you update wof for full ask dreammaker69 (0 • 8:35 pm, Mon, 20 AprI really don't have time to get another wof.
