Produced from 1963 to 1968. the Jaguar S-Type was a technically
more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mk. II. offering
buyers a more luxurious alternative. It was available with either
3. 4 or 3. 8 litre XK engines and featured longer rear bodywork among
other styling and interior changes. Despite its extra weight. the
S-Type's independent rear suspension allowed it to corner faster
than the Mk. II. especially on uneven surfaces. providing better
traction and a much smoother ride for rear seat passengers with the
consensus that the S-Type offered significant improvements over the
Mk. II in road holding. safety and ride comfort. Described as "a
convenient family car. a businessman's express. a sports coupé and
a grand tourer. "

This lovely 1968 S-Type is presented in white with contrasting
deep blue leather interior. With a genuine 69. 00 miles
recorded. it is offered with a Jaguar Heritage certificate and
accompanied by over £8. 00 of bills including a £2. 00 engine
re-build of its highly desirable 3. 8 litre engine mated to a manual
with overdrive gearbox.

From the extensive history file. it is clear that between 1996
and 1999 the meticulous owner spent vast sums of money and a great
deal of time on this S-Type ensuring all components were as they
should be. Amongst the voluminous pile of documents are entrances
to classic car rallies and car shows; testament to the care and
enthusiasm throughout his ownership. The car also comes with the
original tool kit. operating. maintenance and servicing handbooks
and service history from its original sale in 1968 to 1970. In the
last 17 years. this example has covered less than 2. 00 miles and
has had its cylinder heads modified to run on unleaded fuel.
The paintwork would benefit from some tlc but overall this is a
lovely S-Type which has had much care and attention lavished on it
and to drive it is a treat.
