1967 Jaguar S-Type 3.4 S MOD
Highlights
- Factory manual with overdrive
- Long-term previous ownership
- Mechanically sorted, “on the button” and ready to go
- Accompanied by a sizeable history file
The Appeal
Sure, the Mk2 stole the limelight, but the S-Type was the better car.
The more technologically advanced of the pair, the S-Type gained independent rear suspension with inboard disc brakes. It was also more luxurious, offered alongside the Mk2 as a premium alternative.
This UK-supplied 1967 example comes from long-term ownership and is said to be very well-sorted mechanically. It’s the 3.4-litre manual version with overdrive, so offers brisk performance and the engaging drive Jaguars of old were well-renowned for.
Resplendent in Opalescent Golden Sand over red upholstery, it’s a very handsome car. As the photographs show, it’s in very nice condition; a great car to use and improve further over time.
