Registration No: RMA 324P Chassis No: 2S7114BW MOT: ExemptFinished in Cream with Tan ‘Connolly’ leather and a vinyl roofCollection of old MOT certificatesDaimler maintenance, lubrication and wiring chartsOffered with numerous invoices on file for work carried outThe Daimler Sovereign was a name applied to a sequence of luxury cars built by Jaguar but carrying the Daimler badge between 1966 and 1983 and were based on contemporary Jaguar body shells, chassis and engines. The launch of the Jaguar XJ6 in 1968 and its Daimler sister in 1969 redefined expectations in the luxury car sector. The new model truly 'moved the goalposts', setting new standards in comfort, refinement and handling. A waiting list was quick to form and enthusiasm remained strong upon the introduction of the facelift variant for the 1974 model year. Commonly referred to as the "Series II", the 4.2L XJ6 straight-6 engine (most popular in the United Kingdom) and the 5.3L V12 XJ12 were continued with an addition of a 3.4L 3,442cc version of the XK engine available from 1975. Initially, the Series II was offered with two wheelbases, but at the 1974 London Motor Show Jaguar announced the withdrawal of the standard wheelbase version: subsequent saloons/sedans all featured the extra 4 inches (10cm) of passenger cabin length hitherto featured only on the long-wheelbase model.First registered on 12th May 1976, this Daimler Sovereign 4.2 with automatic transmission, finished in Cream with Tan ‘Connolly’ leather and a vinyl roof, offered the height of luxury from BL of the day and with its long wheelbase, it delivered in terms of rear passenger comfort. ‘This gracious car is everything which Daimler has ever represented…a prestigious and dignified way to travel…spaciousness; refinement; proportion.’ Accompanying the Sovereign are the Daimler maintenance, lubrication and wiring charts, Daimler dealer list and a Daimler brochure from the period. There are numerous invoices on file for work carried out in Lancashire and Cheshire during the 1980s and ‘90s including the purchase of a pair of used carburettors and transmission and engine servicing. Inside there’s a period Fujitsu radio cassette with handbooks on file. It’s offered with a collection of old invoices & MOT certificates from the 1980s to the 1990s and the current V5C document.

Registration No: TSY 381 Chassis No: SA 2946 MOT: ExemptIn need of recommissioning after a period of storageAn interesting pre-war SpecialStill registered with the DVLA although a new V5C will need to be applied forUsed by the previous owner at numerous speed events and potentially VSCC eligibleIntroduced at the 1935 London Motor Show, the MG 2-litre (subsequently re-christened the ‘SA’) debuted as a four-door saloon. Based around a substantial ladder frame chassis equipped with semi-elliptic leaf-sprung suspension and four-wheel drum brakes, the newcomer was powered by a 2288cc OHV straight-six engine allied to four-speed manual transmission. A direct competitor to the SS Jaguar 2½ Litre Saloon, the MG boasted an 85mph top speed and similarly luxurious interior. Arriving in April and July 1936 respectively, a Tickford-bodied Drophead Coupe and Charlesworth-clothed Open Tourer broadened the appeal of the SA, while the following year brought an increase in cubic capacity to 2322cc. Production was curtailed by the outbreak of WW2 after some 2,738 cars had been made (though, saloons accounted for the vast majority). However, only 263 survivors (9.6%) are currently known to the SVW Register. Understood to be one of just 128 MG SAs produced during 1939 but not road registered until the following year, chassis SA 2946 is thought to have been re-configured as a Special during the 1960s. Beginning life as a Tickford Drophead Coupe, its current four-seater Tourer body is considerably lighter (to the undoubted benefit of performance). Sporting twin rear-mounted spare wheels, ‘TSY 381’ was reputedly used by its previous keeper for a variety of speed events. Potentially eligible for various Vintage Sports Car Club meetings (subject to inspection and acceptance), the MG has been off the road for a number of years. Appearing to be substantially complete, it will require thorough recommissioning before running in anger again. Last issued with a V5 Registration Document in 1997, ‘TSY 381’ remains known to both the DVLA and HPi albeit a new owner will have to apply for an up-to-date registration document. An intriguing project, six-cylinder, four-seater pre-WW2 Tourers are rarely this affordable.We are indebted to the previous owner for the below information:-The MG was converted by E L woods after the war from a Tickford Drophead, that was early 1950s and he went racing , mainly Oulton Park near where he lived , I took it to Oulton Park 45 yrs ago , meeting Ron Gammons , who remembered her racing back then. The engine is fully balanced , and raced by me on the Williston Pusuit Spint IOM where I beat the Bentley boys and the Riley boys, winning the Promenade sprint there as well . The MG SA was also used to raise £28,000 pounds for Blackpool Hospice donated through the Louise Woolcock and friend Lady Dianne Foundation, a very proud moment in its history, She's very capable of the Ton 4 up, she has a new Cork clutch, and specialists converted her big end bearings, from White metal to MGA big end shells, more durable for racing. I may also be able to find the original Buff log book and V5. For more information, please contact: James McWilliam james.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk 07943 584760
