For sale is a 1967 Daimler Sovereign California car.
Unfortunately, we do not know too much about the history of this vehicle. We purchased this car from a lien holder, and evidently the previous owner started to restore the car, however then abandoned it,
and the landlord of the storage building took possecion of the car and sold it through e-bay. We purchased the car as a parts car, however found it to be too good and decided to go ahead with the restoration.
The has a few nicks, dents and scratches, however is practically free of rust, and a good dent doctor and following paint job, should do the exterior. The chrome is like new, the bumpers must have been
rechromed recently.
The inside needs a good cleaning, and refinishing of the wood trim. The dash looks bad and probably need to be recovered with leather. All the outside lights seem to work fine, inside need to be redone.
The head liner just need to be glued up again in the back. The seats are in very good shape, no cracks. Floor carpet need s good shampoo cleaning.Many parts go with the car.
New rubber seals for front and back windshields. Complete frond steering end rebuild parts ( tie rods, bushings, etc.) Complete set of new shocks and struts. Rebuild kit for the SU carburettors, including floats.
New fender mirrors. New ignition key switch and door locks (ignition and trunk are installed, doors still need to be installed.)
Basically the car needs to be put together and repainted, should not be missing too much.
The engine runs good , however is not original. The engine number we can find is: WHITTLESEY, the original engine number should be: 7A31178-8. It is a 6 Cyl. Jaguar engine, but looks like more modern,
maybe from the seventies. Transmission goes a little hard in gear, but then shifts very well, gear shifter needs adjustment.
Thats really all we know, the car is of course sold as is without any warranty given.The car is a project car and needs work before being able to be driven.
We ask for a $500 down within 48 hours of action close and full payment within 10 days of auction close.You are welcome to inspect the vehicle, just drop me a note and we make arrangements.
Good luck biting.
