The S-Type Jaguar unveiled at the Birmingham Motor Show of 1998 had strong echoes of the company's glorious past. Not only did it share the name of one of the company's popular `60s saloons, but the Geoff Lawson styling appeared to have been heavily influenced by an array of iconic Jaguar models from the same era - not least the immortal MKII. Even the car's factory was steeped in history - the Castle Bromwich plant having produced countless Spitfires and Lancasters during the Second World War. Jaguar was in Ford ownership when the `new' S-Type came into being and they elected to base it on a modified Lincoln LS platform. The model was initially offered with the choice of Jaguar's 3. 0-litre V6 unit (235bhp) or 4. 0-litre V8 (282bhp) engine - either of which could be mated to a five-speed manual or J-gate automatic gearbox. The sumptuous interior was a typical Jaguar blend of leather and wood, intended to cosset and de-stress busy executives between meetings. The model enjoyed a series of upgrades during its nine-year reign and could be had with petrol engines raising in size from 2. 5 to 4. 2 litres plus a 2. 7 litre diesel.
Supplied new on the 30th of April 2003 by Hartwell Jaguar of Shrewsbury, this desirable 4. 2-litre V8 petrol engined example is also a well specified ‘SE’ model. Finished in Silver paintwork with a Sand leather interior upholstery, the Jaguar has passed through just two former keepers before being acquired by the vendor and has covered a modest 69, 000 miles at the time of consignment. Accompanied by a history file that comprises the original book pack including the handbook and stamped service book, the service book illustrates eight services with all but one completed by the supplying dealership, with the most recent being completed by a classic car specialist c. 2, 000 miles ago. Also included in the file are a collection of previous MOTs, an MOT certificate until May 2024, and a current V5C document.
