The car presents in very good condition, as the owner has his own workshop and repairs almost everything himself. So: no backlog of maintenance, no creeping corrosion, ...
The overdrive has recently been renewed and the car drives superbly. In terms of chassis set-up and interior space, the S-Type is the more dynamic car compared with the Mk2, and it’s ideal for anyone looking for something special.
According to the registration document, the S-Type has had two previous owners, although it is currently being run on a 7-series number plate.
