1973 Jaguar Daimler Sovereign review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant, silly, RUBBISH!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything! The car was a dead dog. Wonderful!
General comments?
A 1970's Daimler Sovereign. Straight six 4.2 litre twin carb. That was an aircraft engine with so much grunt!
It left a vapour trail of rust when gunned, and hissed like a steam engine after only a few miles. The fan was like a WWII fighter plane's propeller, truly massive!
The car was shot to pieces, but what a laugh!
Two petrol tanks, a silly kick switch for the head lights, and LEATHER arm chairs! A body constructed from pure 24 carat rust and poster paint. Brilliant!
The power that the 4.2 litre nuclear power plant developed, simply stripped the body work away! I bought a pup and flogged it into the grave.
What a blast, and 9 miles to the gallon. STUPID! I was a boy at the time, so nevermind! Simply fantastic silliness!!!
