The Jaguar S-type is, in many ways, the quintessential Jaguar executive car. Introduced in 1999, it was a smooth-running, fancifully-appointed vehicle that glided into the millennium with decidedly nostalgic routes, evoking the classic MK2 in style with a retro-style grille and their traditional virtues of top-notch handling.
It was a smashing success - and likely brought great relief for many as the first of Jaguar's cars to be built during Ford ownership.
This vehicle stands out for being in excellent order, and having the rarely-spotted manual transmission.
