Dating from before Jaguar/Daimler was taken over by Ford and squares and angles replaced these wonderful curves. I admit that, more recently, they have rediscovered the art of car design, but this model remains, in my view, the last of a classic breed, and representative of the end of an era.

I guess you could say that the Sovereign is the most modest car in our collection - not ostentatious or flashy - but rather possessing an understated style. It is still a lovely vehicle in exceptional condition, and it makes you feel good.
