Introduced in 1963, the Jaguar S-Type was intended to bridge the gap between the company’s existing MkII and MkX models. Boasting a similar visage to the former and an adapted version of the latter’s independent rear suspension, the newcomer also featured a higher-geared Burman power steering set up and an updated heating and ventilation system. The more sumptuous interior included a MkX style walnut fascia and wider front seats etc.

According to its accompanying Jaguar Heritage Certificate, 'EJB 154C' was supplied through Bracknell Motors of Berkshire to a Mr W. T. Bird of Stanwell, Middlesex. Originally finished in Cream with Red leather upholstery (the same combination it pleasingly sports today), the S-Type was specified with the larger 3.8 litre engine allied to automatic transmission. The Jaguar has received extensive restoration work in its past with numerous receipts on file dating from 2000 through to 2014 when the car was taken off the road that include new body panels and an engine overhaul in 2001. Luckily, the car was put into dry storage and the vendor (a very well-known Jaguar specialist in South East London) purchased the car around 4 years ago with the intention of keeping it as a personal vehicle. He has started the recommissioning which encompassed reconditioning the interior and getting the car to a driving state. Now, a pending move of his workshop forces sale of this lovely car.

The vendor has advised that the car rates as 'good' all round and that just a slight amount of work would bring to life this very original and solid Jaguar. The car drove out of the workshop and down the road with good oil pressure, however, the brakes will require an overhaul. Overall, this is a worthwhile project for any aspiring S-Type owner. The vendor has advised that there is also a huge number of spares that are included with the car that may include some parts that are missing in the photographs.
