Highlights
• Range-topping SE model
• “Simply beautiful example”
• Fantastic condition throughout - a credit to its keepers
The Background
Introduced in 1999, the Jaguar S-Type aimed to blend the luxurious driving experience Jaguar was renowned for with a more ‘sporting’ style and performance, even going as far as offering an ‘R’ version with a 4.2-litre supercharged V8 engine.
Non-R cars were offered with a mixture of silky-smooth V6 petrol engines, a naturally aspirated V8 and a 2.7-litre V6 diesel, all of which suited the refined nature of the S-Type very well indeed. Transmissions were limited to either a five-speed manual or five-speed ‘J-Gate’ automatic.
Interestingly, despite being approved by road safety bodies, the traditional Jaguar ‘leaping’ hood ornament was only offered as an optional extra, and was removed from the options list in 2003, being replaced by a standard badge incorporated into the front grille.
The History
This particular S-Type is an example of the high-specification range-topping SE model, which has been cared for by only five total owners in its lifetime.
We say cared for - perhaps ‘cherished’ is a more apt word, as the condition of this example is absolutely astounding throughout, and, as the vendor has put it, it is a “credit to the former keepers” and is entirely original throughout.
The SE models gained plenty of tech, including heated electric seats, air-conditioning and climate control, premium sound system and more, meaning this S-Type is an excellent long-distance cruising companion.
Owned for the last six years by a doctor, the car has been in long-term storage for the last two of those years, and a full service has been carried out prior to being listed for sale, making this S-Type ready for the next owners to simply get in and enjoy.
The Paperwork
Included with the car is an impressive service history, the V5 showing 4 former keepers, two keys, numerous old MOT certificates and invoices, a full complement of Jaguar handbooks and manuals, the original tool kit and the jack.
The spare wheel is also present, but the tyre would benefit from being replaced due to its age.

The Interior
Step inside and you’ll find yourself transported back to luxury motoring in the early 2000’s. The cabin of this S-Type is in fantastic shape throughout and you’d be forgiven for thinking it has covered half of its recorded mileage.
The leather seats are all in great condition with only light creases and wear noted to the bases, whilst the upgraded wood veneer trim and inlays are all free of damage, blemishes or heavy wear.
The carpets are generally excellent with some wear noted in the driver’s footwell, whilst the headliner remains taut throughout with no sagging, staining or damage reported.
According to our vendor, there are no faults with any of the gauges or systems within the car, and no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard.
The Exterior
As with the interior, the bodywork and paint on this example are simply superb, and are free from any major dents, blemishes and imperfections. A few stone chips are visible on the front end and exposed edges, but the silver paintwork goes a long way towards hiding these.
The chrome details on the bumpers, grilles and elsewhere on the car all look to be in good order and retain an impressive mirror-like shine, with no noticeable pitting or buffing on the bumpers and only light pitting around the doors.
From what we’ve seen, all of the light lenses are in good shape and free of damage, but the headlights are fairly clouded and would benefit from a thorough wet sanding and polishing to bring them in line with the rest of the bodywork.
All four wheels are in excellent shape, with no kerbing or major marks that we can see.
The Mechanicals
According to our vendor, the 3.0-litre V6 engine is in rude health and “sounds great” out on the road, whilst there are no reported faults with the five-speed J-gate gearbox.
The engine bay is in smart condition, and there are no visual signs of any leaks, issues or breakages. No doubt a fastidious owner would likely spend an afternoon or two under the bonnet bringing the appearance in line with the rest of the car, but there are no mechanical issues as it sits and the car is ready to drive and enjoy.
The Appeal
Luxurious, silky-smooth and still able to produce an impressive turn of speed when required, the S-Type has aged fantastically and this example in particular wears its years very well indeed, with its condition hiding its mileage with ease.
Offered in excellent condition throughout, both aesthetically and mechanically, this S-Type would make a fantastic daily driver or weekend GT car for the discerning driver looking for something with a little more class and character than the average day-to-day driver.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
