Description
Offered for sale is my stunning 1968 Jaguar S Type 3. 4L, finished in the iconic British Racing Green with elegant wire wheels. This classic saloon combines timeless style with spirited performance, powered by its smooth 3. 4-litre inline-six engine and equipped with a rare and desirable manual gearbox featuring overdrive and the improved 1968 revised Moss transmission for better gear changes and enhanced reliability. The Jaguar 3. 4L engine shares its legendary lineage with the powerplants that propelled Jaguar to victory at Le Mans in 1951, 1953, 1955, and 1956.
Unlike its near-identical sibling, the Mk2, the S Type boasts Jaguar’s advanced independent rear suspension (IRS), a Le Mans-proven design that contributed to Jaguar's wins in 1955, 1956, 1957, 1988, and 1990, delivering superior handling and ride quality. Complemented by all-round disc brakes, this sophisticated setup ensures confident stopping power and a refined driving experience. The 1968 model also features improvements to the clutch system, including a better slave cylinder for enhanced performance and durability. A true gentleman’s express, this S Type is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Jaguar’s storied history, blending classic elegance with motorsport-inspired engineering. The car is reasonably priced to allow cosmetic and bodywork issues to be undertaken by the new owner or to simply retain the patina according to their own taste.
