A wonderful example of the venerable 3.4-litre S-Type comprehensively restored in the past and thoughtfully upgraded for modern classic use. Introduced in 1963 as a slightly roomier, more powerful, more refined sibling to the Mk2, the S-Type actually outsold its smaller brother. Powered by the sonorous 210bhp, straight-six 3.4-litre XK unit mated to (in this case) a 4-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Old English White, this 1967 example is fitted with a manual gearbox and was supplied new to Wadhams Ltd of Cowes as their official demonstrator. Just three previous owners from new (excluding dealership use), with the owner prior to our vendor having cherished the car for over 33 years.
Comprehensively restored in the early 1990s, including a bare-shell rebuild, full repaint, re-plated chrome, renewed trim and a fully refurbished interior with freshly-veneered woodwork. Thoughtfully upgraded for modern classic use, featuring Coopercraft front brakes, uprated suspension, hydraulic power-steering rack, Moto-Lita steering wheel, and higher-ratio differential for relaxed cruising. Mechanical rebuilds completed with care, including engine, gearbox and rear suspension overhaul at c.77,000 miles, followed by a further cosmetic and mechanical refresh in 2008 after 100,000 reliable miles.
Well-maintained, well-used and well-loved, recently enjoyed and a faithful, usable classic with genuine character. A grown-up Mk2, the S-Type was the most aspirational saloon car of the period and offers an affordable entry into the world of Classic Jaguar ownership.
