The right-hand drive S-Type offered, left Jaguar's Browns Lane factory in 1964 equipped with the more powerful 3.8-litre engine mated to an overdrive specification manual gearbox. Originally finished in Grey, it was resprayed in opalescent British Racing Green in the late 1990s as part of an extensive restoration carried out by renowned marque specialist Don Law - the total cost of which was £64,000. Two years ago, '6535 VT' was treated to a dual fuel conversion, so can now run on LPG as well as petrol. We understand the vendor is the fourth owner of the Jaguar and he informs us that his predecessor never actually used the car - the indicated, but unwarranted, mileage now stands at 92,801. He currently considers the bodywork, engine and manual transmission to be "excellent" and the paintwork and Red leather interior trim to be "very good". The Jaguar is taxed and MOT'd into March. A fine looking example of this increasingly sought after model.
