The Appeal
Introduced in 1999, the S-Type offered a raft of engine and drivetrain options alongside classical styling and luxuriously appointed cabins.
This example has been carefully looked after and very well maintained. With just two owners from new, genuinely low mileage and a very desirable specification, it’s a great option for anyone after powerful, richly finished and discreet daily transport.

Summary
This S-Type is presented in very fine fettle. It’s clearly been meticulously cared for, and has benefitted from years of careful ownership and dry storage. Externally, it looks very good indeed, and if anything the cabin is in even better condition.
With the choice 4.2-litre V8 drivetrain and the high ‘SE’ specification, we think this handsome saloon would be a fabulous addition to any driveway. Certainly, there can be few ways to travel in such style and luxury, alongside a healthy serving of V8 grunt, for such an attractive price.
