The Appeal
Designed by Geoff Lawson in 1995, the Jaguar S-Type from the early 2000s is a loving tribute to the iconic 60s sports car. With its sloped front end, and distinctive grille, the mid-size luxury saloon is evocatively retro, while still being packed with modern creature comforts - providing top-quality handling and top-notch options in a nifty, nippy package.
This particular model has covered just 39,374 miles since leaving the factory, most of which was done by its first owners, a couple that didn’t sell the car until 2021. Clearly cosseted, and with a valid MOT until November 2023, it’s a superb example of an early 2000s fixture.
