S-Type 3.4 or 3.8

S-Type 3.4 or 3.8: 1963 – 1968

The Jaguar S-Type, produced from 1963 to 1968, was a refined evolution of the iconic Mk II, offering improved comfort, handling, and interior space. Available with either the 3.4 or 3.8-litre straight-six engine, the S-Type featured the sophisticated independent rear suspension from the Mk X, enhancing its ride quality and road holding. With its elegant saloon body, luxurious interior, and smooth performance, the S-Type bridged the gap between Jaguar’s sporting and executive offerings—making it a favourite among discerning drivers of the 1960s.
