The Series III Sovereign being offered is a 1982 model fitted with the 4.2-litre engine but lacking the cruise control, air-conditioning and fog lamps usually found on the model. It boasts bronze coachwork and a brown-coloured interior. The body and paintwork are described by the vendor as "average for the year", and the interior trim as "fair". The engine and automatic transmission are said to be "good". Originally owned by Dunlop, the car appears to have been little used over the years - the service book suggesting the displayed mileage of little over 60,000 could possibly be correct. The car carries the 'ageless' number plate 'HWG 110', is MOT'd until March 2010 and taxed until the end of October this year. Sovereigns offer a unique level of luxury, cosseting occupants in a very British blend of leather and wood trim while treating them to a 'magic carpet' ride rarely if ever matched by rival marques. On a scale of comfort per pound they are now certainly hard to beat.
