1968 JAGUAR S TYPE For Sale

The S-Type was a major redevelopment of the Mark 2. It used a mid-scale version of the Mark X independent rear suspension to replace the Mark 2’s live rear axle and featured longer rear bodywork, among other styling and interior changes. Available with either 3. 4 or 3. 8-litre XK engines but only in twin carburettor form because the triple carburettor setup would not fit into what was essentially still the Mark 2 engine bay. By the time of the S-Type’s release in 1964, the Mark 2 remained an unexpectedly strong seller despite its age. Although the Mark X was selling less well than hoped, especially in its intended market of the USA, Sir William decided to retain all three models in the Jaguar range concurrently.
This beautiful example has been in the same family ownership for around 32 years and is matching numbers and original colour. She has been continually maintained and cherished resulting in a very original S Type but with the benefit of IRS rebuilt, repainted several years ago and some chrome refinished.
There is a lovely history file which includes original service books , brochures and handbooks even the original bill of sale in 1968. Finished in British racing Green she also has the benefit of a manual overdrive gearbox enabling easy high speed cruising if necessary.
Recent expenditure of circa £10000 includes very high quality full retrim in Leather/ carpets/ 123 ignition and retro usb radio system
She is a delight on the road with the feel only a properly maintained 1960s has!
Supplied fully inspected, serviced and with a comprehensive 12 month warranty.

The Jaguar S-type was launched in 1963 and was based on the styling of the Jaguar Mk2, which had been launched four years earlier. At first glance there is little to tell the two apart, but an expert eye will be drawn to the extended rear bodywork, thinner chrome bumpers and larger indicators. Though a different model, ...

My SV8 for sale, in my ownership since November 2022, and a fantastic machine. Incidentally I've also previously owned an XFR and much prefer the SV8, particularly the 4.2 engine for its character and torque profile, and the ride and steering are superior for a road car, too. Used for high days and holidays, kept ...
