Description
We first supplied this car 37 years ago to the Ex-President of The Jaguar Drivers’ Club and it went to win concours awards. In 1992, it was used on the front cover of Classic and Sportscar and a feature within. The car has been fastidiously kept over the years with both an engine rebuild (for precautionary purposes) and a back to metal repaint carried out some years ago (through ourselves) but with around 20, 000 miles covered since and fastidious garaging, it remains in show condition. The largely original interior is exceptional, the brightwork excellent. Over the past few years, some continental touring has been covered driving to The South of France and around 2, 000 miles in Sweden- it is one of the tightest, most responsive classic Jaguars we have driven. In 2015 the car was surveyed by renowned ex- Coombes marque afficionado Ken Bell and his report is with the history file. The mileage is 79, 000 from new. It is manual with overdrive- being a 1966 it benefits from the later synchromesh gearbox, but is pre- quality cutbacks which came the following year. Finished in Sherwood Green with Suede Green Hide, this S -Type is one of the very best out there and it looks stunning in this period colour scheme.
