In Brief:

• A tidy example of Jaguar's noughties exec saloon
• Finished in Ultraviolet Metallic over a Grey leather interior
• Owned by the current keeper for the last 18 years
• 2 former keepers
• Genuine 31,742 miles from new

Auctioneer's Notes:

A tidy, low-mileage example of Jaguar’s early-2000s executive saloon, this S-Type presents handsomely in Ultraviolet Metallic with a Grey leather interior. With just 31,742 miles from new and long-term ownership spanning 18 years.

Maintenance & Condition:

Recent expenditure in 2025 includes a new headlining, new discs and pads, replacement brake hoses, and an oil and filter change—improving reliability and overall presentation. The car appears clean and well kept throughout. While a bookpack and early service history are unfortunately not present, mileages have been verified through historic MOT records.

History:

Showing only two former keepers, this example has been with the current registered keeper since 2007. A small selection of old MOT certificates accompanies the car, along with invoices supporting recent maintenance carried out this year.

The Model:

Launched at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show, the S-Type resurrected a nameplate last used in the 1960s. Developed during Jaguar’s Ford ownership era, it shares the DEW98 platform with the Lincoln LS and Ford Thunderbird. Its retro-inspired styling nods to the original S-Type, most notably in the rounded grille and quad-headlamp arrangement. This model is powered by the smooth 2.5-litre V6 producing 201 bhp, paired to a 6-speed automatic gearbox driving the rear wheels, offering refined performance with 0–60 mph achievable in 9.4 seconds.

Sale Insight:

Low-mileage S-Types with long-term ownership are increasingly scarce. This example should appeal to buyers seeking a well-preserved, comfortable and distinctive modern classic Jaguar.
