Launched in 1963, the Jaguar S-type was marketed as a model that would more suitably fit into the 'executive' car sector than its MkII sibling. Boasting notably superior ride and handling characteristics thanks to the adoption of the independent rear suspension (cribbed from the MkX / E-type), it also enjoyed a more spacious interior, complete with a dashboard-mounted walnut centre console. Visually distinguished by its elongated boot, flatter roofline and hooded headlamps, the model was powered by a choice of 3.4 litre (210bhp) or 3.8 litre (220bhp) DOHC straight-six engines allied to either manual or automatic transmission. Maintaining the Coventry manufacturer's reputation for speed, luxury, and mechanical refinement, the S-type remained in production until 1968, by which time some 25,000 had been sold (10,000 3.4s vs. 15,000 3.8s).

Presenting in British Racing Green, wonderfully complemented by a Suede Green leather interior, ‘ULY 686F’ resided in the same family for five decades and regularly displayed at shows in the 1980s. First supplied to Enfield Rolling Mills Ltd, Enfield in July 1968, ownership transferred to a Leonard Dyer of Grange Park, in June 1969. Subsequently entering the ownership of the long-term family owners in August 1975, the previous owner’s father purchased the car and is said to have been meticulous, ensuring the S-Type remained in show condition. The Jaguar Periodic Maintenance Vouchers record regular servicing maintained across the three owners. As the years passed, the upkeep got too much for him and ownership transferred to his son.

With a few blemishes from enthusiastic polishing, the paint is still very presentable. The 6-cylinder engine fired up extremely well at the time of consignment, showing good oil pressure. Evidently, the S-Type continues to be well maintained, there's still grease on the original door hinge nipples and the suspension sits well. Benefitting from some refreshing, the vendor has sympathetically re-connollised the Suede Green leather seats, lifting the whole interior. Offered with an extensive history file, there's a green RF60 logbook, original service records, owners' manual and the V5C. The vendor, having purchased the car from the previous family owners, is a Jaguar collector and has not recorded his name on the V5C.
