Colour: Red

This early Daimler series 2 4.2 Coupe is the 107th made in RHD, and has been subject of an older restoration, at which time it was converted to Jaguar chrome work and badging. The car has been in storage for a few years and will require light recommissioning. The paintwork is described by the vendor as very good and the body is sound. The interior is excellent with tan leather and superb wood. The car does require attention in some areas, the left hand fuel tank is not fitted but the right hand one is in place and working, the alternator is not charging and the battery is flat.

Auction description:

9th Oct, 2024 Imperial War Museum Duxford, Cambridgeshire

1975 Daimler Sovereign 4.2 Coupe

Registration No: LSD 335P

Chassis No: 2H.1107BW

MOT: May 2025

1 of just 1,677 examples manufactured

Extensively re-commissioned June 2023 with some £3,500 worth of expenditure

Desirable home market example and early in the production run (number 107)

Pleasingly understood to boast the vast majority of its original Tan interior upholstery

Manufactured in 1975, 'LSD 335P' is a notably early example being number 107 off the production line and was supplied new to the United Kingdom being first registered on the 4th of December that year. A 4.2-litre engine example with automatic transmission, the Daimler is still finished in its original colour scheme of Signal Red with Tan leather upholstery, with the interior upholstery pleasingly understood to be original and the paintwork benefitting from a full repaint (2015). Offered now with c.108,000 miles on the odometer, the vast majority were covered during the first thirty years of its life. In dry storage from 2008 for numerous years and covering very minimal mileage, last year ‘LSD 335P’ was lavished with a mechanical recommissioning costing some £3,500.

Further enhanced this year with a new coil and ignition leads, and a full service, the Daimler starting readily and both ran and drove very well during our photography session. In regular use with the vendor, it will be driven some 40 miles to the sale and is rated as having ‘very good’ bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment, and interior trim, with the engine and gearbox both rated as ‘excellent’. Offered with a history file including previous MOTs and invoices, a no advisory MOT until May 2025, and V5C. These Daimler Coupes are scarce and this one benefits from significant recent mechanical recommissioning.
