- Registered with the Automotoclub Storico Italiano (ASI)
- Extensive historical documentation including a Jaguar Certificate of Origin
- Extremely original and in excellent condition
The Attractions
Although the Mark II was a great success due to its handling and remarkable performance, Jaguar realised that part of its clientele wanted a more luxurious car that was less imposing and expensive than the flagship Mk X. In practice, it was necessary to offer an intermediate model between the sportier and more luxurious saloons, and the solution was the 1963 S-Type.
Here we present a very original 1965 example in a brilliant metallic gold colour. The seller assures us that it is in excellent running order and we can't help but notice that it looks really good in every respect.
For those looking for a very usable classic Jaguar, this is a really interesting opportunity.
