Auction description:
Model S-Type 3.8 Saloon
First Registered 1966
Registration No LBL910D
Engine No 7B60388-8
Chassis No P1B56495BW
MOT Nov 2008
Colour Opalescent SiverBlue

Details
Offered here is the definitive S-Type; 3.8 engine, auto box, opalescent metallic silver blue livery and chrome wire wheels. In addition to all of these plus points, the car has an extensive history file and has recently benefited from an expensive repaint, new leather front seat covers, conversion to Vicarage rack and pinion steering and a modern electronic ignition system.

The car is said to be totally reliable and capable of cruising at or in excess of the UK speed limit. It starts first time, every time and is said to be a joy to drive.

Half the price of an equivalent MKII with better ride and better handling, this S-Type offers exceptional value and comes complete with a new MoT and new owners manual.
