The Jaguar S-Type was produced by Jaguar Cars in the United Kingdom from 1963-1968. It was mechanically more sophisticated than the Mark II Sedan, offering buyers a more luxurious alternative to the marque’s similar sedan model. Without the size and cost of the Mark X, the S sold alongside the Mark II as well as the 420, released in 1966.The S-Type used a mid-scale version of the Mark X independent rear suspension to replace the Mark II’s live rear axle. It featured longer bodywork among other styling and interior changes. Powered by a 3.4 liter double overhead cam in line 6 cylinder engine fed through dual SU carbs, the engine produced 210 horsepower. A total of just 1,008 S-Types were produced in 1967.Presented is a beautifully restored 1967 Jaguar 3.4s Sports Sedan. Finished in stunning Willow green with dark green Connolly hides, Wilton Wool carpets, burled walnut dash and accents. The Jaguar says nothing but sophistication and style as only the British can produce. With rare 4-speed transmission, the 3.4s drives and handles like a dream, sharing many engineering and mechanicals from the E-type, one of the greatest sports cars of all time. This 2-owner from new 3.4s has a fully documented history and has never been to market prior to this offering.- 2 owners from new- Rare 4-speed transmission- 3.4 liter engine- Fully independent suspension
