Daimler Sovereign (420)
Jaguar decided to follow up the Daimler 2½litre V8 with a more upmarket model based on the newly announced Jaguar 420, but this time the Daimler was 100per cent Jaguar apart from badging and bright work. The Mk2 models had spawned the S-type in 1963 with independent rear suspension, enlarged boot, and a choice of 3.4litre engine or the 3.8litre from the E-type. Sales were not as good as expected and the 420 hoped to resolve that by giving the car the 4.2litre engine from the MkX. The 420 and Soveriegn models were launched in 1966 and sold until 1968 (420) and 1969 (Sovereign) when they were replaced by equivalent Jaguar XJ models.

Daimler Sovereign was the Daimler-badged version of the Jaguar 420, itself an evolution of the Jaguar S-type out of Jaguar MkII. The Sovereign (and 420) both got 4235cc engine from the larger MkX (now renamed '420G') and also got a bonnet similar to the larger car.
