Lot 97
 

1968 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 Saloon

Sold for £14,800

(including buyers premium)


Lot details

Registration No: NDV 376F
Chassis No: A1B57894
MOT: Exempt

  • 3.8 Litre example mated to the desirable manual gearbox
  • Presented in the attractive combination of Blue with contrasting Tan interior
  • Benefits from overdrive and recently subject to interior re-fresh

Launched in 1963, the Jaguar S-type was marketed as more of an 'executive' car 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 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 approximately 25,000 had been sold (10,000 3.4s vs. 15,000 3.8s), with just 9,717 right-hand drive S-Type 3.8s manufactured.

Manufactured in 1968 and presented in the attractive combination of Blue with contrasting Tan leather interior, this particular example was brought to the UK from South Africa and registered in the UK in September 2022. Showing just 35,416 miles on the odometer, ‘NDV 376F’ benefits from not only the 3.8-litre DOHC straight six engines, but also boasts the desirable manual gearbox, overdrive, it’s Sanyo Rally radio and has recently benefited from an interior re-fresh.

Accompanied with the vehicle is a small history file containing a number of invoices and receipts from its time in South Africa, import paperwork including the DVLA authorisation paperwork and the V5C document which displays no former keepers.
