Lot 20
A 1967 Jaguar S-Type 3. 4 manual overdrive saloon, registration number LVF 309E, chassis number 1B8042DN, engine number 7B 9232-8, opalescent green. Introduced in 1963, the new S-Type offered the usual attributes of grace, space and pace in a new body style with larger boot, a more luxurious wood and leather interior and independent rear suspension following the lines of the E-Type and Mk X. They were offered with a choice of either 3. 4 or 3. 8 litre engines mated to either a Borg Warner automatic or manual overdrive Moss 4 speed manual gearbox. The S-Type would remain in production until 1968 with just over 23, 000 rolling off the production line before the groundbreaking XJ6 took over the mantel and hit the showrooms. This particular S-Type is a desirable manual overdrive example and has seen considerable restoration works carried out by respected Marque specialists including Hollygrove Jaguar of Ringwood, Dorset. Works carried out including a full interior retrim by BAS International with swede green leather, new door cards & headlining, bodywork refurbishment and full re-spray in opalescent green, rebuilt engine, stainless steel exhaust, new fuel pumps and battery. This beautifully presented and rare example is offered for auction with a history file containing receipts, previous MOTs, sundry paperwork and tax discs. V5C, tax exempt, MOT to January 2018
Estimate £20, 000 - 22, 000
