Description
2005 Jaguar S-Type 3. 0 Sport Automatic. Quartz Grey Metallic with Warm Charcoal and Dove Grey R Sports upholstery. The S-Type Jaguar unveiled at the Birmingham Motor Show of 1998 had strong echoes of the company's glorious past. Not only did it share the name of one of the company's popular `60s saloons, but the Geoff Lawson styling appeared to have been heavily influenced by an array of iconic Jaguar models from the same era - not least the immortal MKII. Even the car's factory was steeped in history - the Castle Bromwich plant having produced countless Spitfires and Lancasters during the Second World War. Jaguar was in Ford ownership when the `new' S-Type came into being and they elected to base it on a modified Lincoln LS platform. The model was initially offered with the choice of Jaguar's 3. 0-litre V6 unit (235bhp) or 4. 0-litre V8 (282bhp) engine - either of which could be mated to a five-speed manual or J-gate automatic gearbox. The sumptuous interior was a typical Jaguar blend of leather and wood, intended to cosset and de-stress busy executives between meetings. The model enjoyed a series of upgrades during its nine-year reign, while the most potent version devised was the S-Type R, which joined the line-up in 2002. There were also a number of special/ limited editions, including the Sport 200 that was introduced in May 2003 and which, as the name suggests, had its production run restricted to just 200 units. The dechromed Sport models were aimed at younger buyers and the `Sport 200' combined fast looks with such hi-spec items as: 18-inch Monaco alloy wheels, multi-function steering wheel, heated front screen, rear spoiler and electrically operated boot lid etc. This beautiful Jaguar has been cherished during its life and has covered just 79, 000 miles from new. It has a comprehensive service history with the service book containing 12 stamps as well as bills, invoices and old mot certificates. Also accompanying the car is the original leather dealers wallet with all handbooks, manuals, security information and two keys. A top specification including upgraded sports interior as well as 18” sport alloy wheels. The paintwork is virtually unmarked and the upholstery fresh and clean with minimal wear. Driving just as you would expect from this luxury sports cruiser it is ready for its next adventure. A fresh mot will be applied upon sale for your own peace of mind.
