An exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly desirable, mechanically sorted, early production 1999 Jaguar S-Type 4.0 litre V8. Finished in a beautiful, classic British colour combination of pale metallic green with full tan leather interior with walnut wood trim.With just 59,000 original miles from new, this modern classic drives exactly as a V8 Jaguar should, offering effortless, smooth power (281 bhp) paired with a remarkably quiet and luxurious ride.Mechanical overhaul (the crucial part) : Unlike most early S-Types that require thousands spent on ageing underpinnings, this car has just undergone a total suspension and braking system renewal.

The factory paint has not been broken or scratched, meaning there is zero rust. It is a perfect candidate for a paintless dent removal if required.* The headlining has come a bit loose on the front driver’s windscreen column.* There is some rust underneath – of course there is, she’s 27 years old! – but nothing serious or structural.This is a fast appreciating modern classic that has had all of its major expensive mechanical work done.
