The Appeal
Jaguar revived the S-Type moniker in 1998, assigning it to a new saloon in homage to the 1960s original. This 2004 example is the coveted 4.2 V8 Sport model, which features a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine producing 300 horsepower and a top speed of 155 mph, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Our Jag boasts full service history and a professional respray from three years ago. Having been known to the current owner since 2008 and acquired in March 2024, this S-Type has clear provenance, having previously been owned by the seller's friend and purchased alongside an XJS V12 from the same family. The combination of documented history, recent mechanical improvements, and well-maintained condition makes this a worthy consideration for enthusiasts of the marque.
