Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

If you want to impress strangers, you buy a Rolex – but if you value the quality of the movement you buy a Grand Seiko. If you want a very fast pickup, you buy a Ford Raptor – but if you want to still be driving it in fifty years you buy a Toyota Hilux. If you want Instagram likes, you buy Snap-On – but if you want silky-smooth longevity you buy Ko-ken.

This obsession with quality, and the respect they accord it, extends to the way the Japanese look after their cars, so if you want to buy the best example of one of Jaguar’s finest, Japan is the obvious place to look. And they don’t come much better than this.

‘LK55 WLO’ is a long-wheelbase Jaguar Sovereign 4.2 that comes with an advisory-free MoT and has just 67,000 miles on the odometer, a mileage that’s supported by a verification certificate from Japan.

Finished in Midnight Blue Pearl metallic, with a ruched Charcoal hide interior; it was probably built to special order as it’s equipped to Daimler specification.

Now fitted with full-size UK-spec numberplate plinths, a MPH speedometer face, a radio that covers the UK spectrum all the way to 108FM, and UK navigation, this is one for the enthusiast who’s looking for a fault-free, turn-key Sovereign that needs nothing other than a tankful of fuel.
