1966 Jaguar S Type 3.8 MOD RHD For Sale

In terms of handling; due to independent rear suspension, and better Burman steering, the remarkable “S Type” could easily out-perform the similar sized body and engine derivative of the Mk II model. The 3. 8 S equipped MOD ran to a top speed of 125 MPH – no slouch for some 50 years ago. It also had better rear legroom and headroom and more boot space!

It is extremely pleasing that these fantastic “drivers cars” have finally begun to be recognised as the a JAGUAR worthy of its place in any collection. This long lasting preference for the Mk. II - due to its reputation as both a Bank Manager’s cruise car and Bank Robber’s get-away car – meant that far too many of the S-Types were not treated with the same care and attention and ultimately scrapped – one need only check this site and compare the overall quantity of cars for sale for it to become clear that there simply are not that many examples left around the world.

I have been mandated to sell this South Africa based car by one of my long-time clients. The “Lady” is an older restoration car that is quite presentable as a daily driver if that is your want – and why not because she is still stunning – unfortunately she was improperly stored when she moved down from Johannesburg to the coast and this has resulted in some slight pitting to the chrome bumpers and the wire-wheels are also showing signs of some rust staining, there are also a few spots of rust staining to the paintwork; i. e. below the edges of the chrome beading centreline to the bonnet. However, some careful localised TLC could well avoid a total respray or having all of the chrome bright-work redone professionally. A further spend of GBP7, 000 will accomplish the respray and re-chroming work within 6-weeks prior to shipping if required.

The interior is well presented and quite acceptable to most, the Red upholstery, carpeting and even seatbelts suit the coachwork Old English White well and all of the woodwork to the dashboard and door-card “caps” is again in well above average condition. There is a tear along the seam to the driver’s seat which is left as is in case the new owner want a brand new Leather interior from a UK specialist kit provider.

Part of her recommissioning included new fuel tanks, new fuel kits, overhauled water pump, as well as proper service and tune-up. Mechanically the car is in good running order, and even the gearbox Overdrive unit is working as expected. Being the 3. 8 engine version the car offers great cruising power. The car has a current license and SA Road Worthy Certificate with no foreseen major spend required.
This car has no structural rust to be seen anywhere, she is a solid car. Priced well for her condition overall to allow immediate enjoyment and as she stands represents an excellent basis for a full cosmetic restoration which if costed immediately would leave a considerable saving compared to a freshly restored car asking price – so the best of both worlds ultimately.

As with all of the cars I sell to international buyers, the price includes all export documentation, single car container shipment to London Gateway, In Transit ALL RISK insurance, UK Clearing charge and HMRC Import duty.
The buyer would need to collect from St Albans and conclude the MoT and DVLA Registration procedure at additional personal cost – alternatively a fully rounded service which includes MoT/ DVLA/ Home delivery is available at extra cost if preferred.

All things considered this car ticks all the boxes for an inclusive price as stated of only GBP14, 300 using present FOREX rate. Full payment to my UK Bank Account upon presentation of the Bill of Sale Agreement – thereafter the car will be ready for collection in just under 5 (five) weeks. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to being of service.
