Auction description:
1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8
Estimate €15,000 - €25,000
Aguttes - La Vente de Printemps, Paris, France
16 March, 2025
Lot 9
Of Swiss origin, our Type S would have had 2 owners before arriving in France in 1989. Kept by the same family since that date, its very extensive file attests to rigorous maintenance.
It is presented today in very good condition, its chrome is well preserved and its body was repainted in 2008, in a shade close to the original. Only slight traces of corrosion are to be noted at the level of the left side skirts. In the passenger compartment, the leather upholstery was retinted in accordance with the origin in 1991, it now has a beautiful patina. The carpets and the headliner are well preserved, the woodwork is in very satisfactory condition.
Under the hood we find the legendary 6-cylinder 3.8 matching number associated with a manual gearbox. It benefited from a complete overhaul in 1991, approximately 16,000 km have been covered since. The clutch was replaced in 2018 but the car has been driven little in recent years. A routine service will therefore be expected, it should be noted that our Type S obtained a valid technical inspection at the beginning of the year.
