1966 | Jaguar Type S 3.8

 The history of this Jaguar S-type 3.8 begins in Milan in May 1966 when the car was purchased by the company "Virginio Rimoldi Spa", specialized in the construction of sewing machines. After 6 years the car passed into the hands of the second owner, then the third in 1987 and the fourth in 1991, all from Milan. In 2019 the car passed to the current owner who continued to maintain the car with extreme care and attention like its predecessors.

​

The Opalescent Golden Sand color has certainly been refreshed over the years, while the blue leather interior, while showing signs of age, appears well harmonized with the car's British style. Likewise, the woods of the dashboard and doors also present a charming patina.

​

The car is equipped with the 3.8 engine, the most powerful of the two available at the time, combined with a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive and Burman power steering, an option of the time. In the early years, the air conditioning system was installed, which is still in perfect working order, as was the Autovox radio from the early 1980s.

​

The S-type represents the middle ground between the Mk2 and the Mark X: the generous dimensions together with the rear end equipped with independent suspension represent the main characteristics of this British sedan, rare to find in Italy in these conditions, still with its original license plates.
