Sovereign has none of the above but has rectangular headlights and differences on the rear panel (usually black painted up to 89, chrome around it from 90+) like the Daimler. XJ6 has round headlamps and less chrome around the door. That's the European ones. The US ones are different again. -- Last edit: 2016-09-25 14:30:57
