As of tomorrow...
Discussion
I am a Jaguar owner, well technically I'm not as it's a Daimler!
Will add some pictures tomorrow but it's a 1967 Daimler Sovereign (or, perhaps more well known as a Jaguar 420).
The car is a light bluey-silver metallic with a dark blue interior, it's very original, with a beautiful air of aged style about it.
In short I CAN'T WAIT
A total of about 16 hours to go and counting ...

But remember, it's a Daimler and not a Jaguar 420!
Please post some pics!
I will indeed post some pics. Please post some pics!
There isn't a Daimler forum and there really is just a few badges and a bit of trim difference between them, the 420 was the first "badge engineered" Daimler, as the 250 V8 had a Daimler engine....
Or if you meant I should drive it like a judge who bought the Daimler and not like the bank robbers who bought the Jaguar ....
hehe, actually it's not really any bigger than a modern 5 Series and I'd actually say it was narrower! Now had it been a 420G ... I wouldn't have been able to put it on my drive ... LOL!
Polished it today, including all the chrome work - there is toooooooo much of that to do! Then took it to a meet,. Was surprised the level of attention it recieved. My "humble" Daimler Sovereign got more attention than the E-types and the XK150s that were there!

That's because it's rarer than an E pixie, and a damn site more practical. You've got yourself a beautiful car there. The shut gaps are spot on and it looks dead straight. Now had it been a 420G ...

I had a signal red 420 manual for years in the early seventies. It had wires and I fitted it with Konis and SP Sport tyres. I saw 140 on the clock coming down from Snaefell on the TT circuit with the kids in the back!
Aye, those were the days!
Put a set of Konis on it; you won't believe the difference in handling. And if you feel like spending a few bob, a manual 'box.
