My personal circumstances have changed hence this very reluctant sale. My plan was to start a wedding car business and use this together with my XJ6, but sadly this is no longer viable.
The car has had 2 previous owners from new. The one before me is a family friend of 56 years and he cherished the car for 14 years, only selling it due to major back surgery. He was a time-served mechanic and serviced the vehicle himself using only OEM parts.
Overall the car is in amazing condition; there are a few very, very fine scratches but none that are noticeable and the interior is near-perfect except for mild wear on the driver’s seat vertical. During the time I've owned this 3.6 Sovereign I've not used it much as the XJ6 was my daily driver. When I DO take it out it reminds me every time just how good it is and what incredible build quality the Sovereign was.
Put another way, if my circumstances hadn't recently changed then I'd be keeping, using and enjoying it. I can't emphasise enough that this sale is not something I'm gleeful about.
I have plenty of photos but understandably I'm limited on what I can upload. Please ask if you'd like to see them?
