Our Take:
- Legacy of the S-Type: This 1965 Jaguar S-Type represents a fascinating piece of British automotive history. Designed by the legendary Sir William Lyons, it merged the sleek aesthetics of the Mark 2 with the luxurious underpinnings of the larger Mark X. It's the sort of car that whispers elegance as much as it exudes it—perfect for anyone who appreciates a good heritage story over a cup of Earl Grey.
- Driving Experience: Equipped with a 3.4-liter inline-six engine and a manual transmission, it offers a spirited drive that harks back to the days when driving was a visceral experience. You wouldn't rush to reach the speed limit—not because it couldn't, but because you’d want to savor every gear shift. It's the sort of immersive experience you don't get much with modern digital dashes and touchscreens.
- Rarity Factor: If you've got a penchant for rare finds, this S-Type's odometer reading of just 43,000 miles makes it a gem. After being tucked away in a barn for 40 years, it's been given another shot at life. A classic Jaguar that's been very little driven through the decades? That's a collector's dream, if you ask me.
- Visual Appeal: The S-Type's green paint is not only quintessentially British but also a nod to the rich motorsport heritage of Jaguar. This shade was famously worn by racing legends like the D-Type in the 1950s. A car in this color, especially when it's been so lovingly revived, is bound to turn heads at any classic car meet.
