1965 | Jaguar Type S 3.8

16,875

Produced from 1963 to 1968, the Jaguar S-Type was technically a 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. It was described as 'a convenient family car, a businessman's express, a sports coupe and a grand tourer.'

Finished in light metallic blue with contrasting trim this Jaguar S-Type was first registered in early 1965 boasting the iconic 3.8 litre engine. Recently lightly recommissioned after a period in dry storage this is a handsome luxury British saloon offered with a V5 registration document and is offered without reserve.
