Lot details

Registration No: PJE 232J

Chassis No: 1U3547BW

MOT: March 2024

Benefitting from a glass-out restoration in (c.2017)

Large photographic record of the restoration process on file

Replacement alternator assembly, thermostat, hoses plugs and oil filters in July of 2022

Original literature that includes a colour chart, sales brochure, poster and wiring diagrams

Manufactured on the 21st of December 1970, 'PJE' was dispatched on the 25th January, 1971 and supplied to its first owner, 'Slater Donning Swann', by Wallis & Son of Cambridge. Today, the Sovereign still presents in Dark Blue paintwork with a Black leather interior, as per the JDHT Certificate information on file. The vendor's father actually sold 'PJE' brand new in 1971, when he was a director at Wallis & Son, who were, at the time, main distributors for Jaguar Daimler, Rover, Land Rover and Triumph, Lancia and Rolls-Royce.

Now displaying some 102,000 credible miles, in recent years, the Sovereign has benefitted from a glass-out restoration (c.2017), and done very little mileage since, with a large photographic record of the restoration process on file. The wheels have also been refurbished and shod with new tyres and the head gasket was done, along with a replacement alternator assembly, thermostat, hoses plugs and oil filters in July of 2022, with an invoice from Jagutek Ltd on file, for just shy of £3000.

'PJE' is offered with some original literature that includes a colour chart, sales brochure, poster and wiring diagrams. With a current MOT running into March of 2024, there is also a collection of old MOTs dating back to 1986 (at 66,473 miles). Additionally, there is the owner's wallet, handbook, a collection of invoices from the c.2017 restoration work and the aforementioned JDHT Certificate.
