I am a bit shocked by this.

I hate to show my ignorance, but just what exactly is so special about a Majestic, but then again having just been introduced into the world of these wonderful motors by owning and driving a Sovereign, I suppose the answer will be very obvious.
A photo of one would help.

Nothing at all in my opinion , they just happen to be 5 inches longer and have more legroom in the back , only a few hundred made which obviously makes them a rare [ish] model ,

yep, Derek is correct, 5 inches longer, 2 inches higher at the back window, rare cars though, just 267 built, lots of unique parts for the extra rear sapce, bodyshells were hand altered and built up at Project Aerospace, then the car sent down the line, price premium about £10K over a similar spec standrd wheel base car

here's a picture of one of mine

Cheers guys and thanks for the info. That's a very nice motor Rob. My kids could both use a little more leg room in back as well, they are used to the Volvo station car so the Sovereign is a bit short on space for them.

In fairness they are a hand built adaption, and the 267 unit production run is a tiny tiny volume on a mass produced car.

I had a look and was surprised to see they're still available for my Daimler [ sunroof and intrusion sensor ] for the same money

I almost wish i needed one
