Auction description:
1968 Jaguar S-Type
Estimate £3,000 - £5,000
Hampson Auctions - Tattenhall, UK
The Bolesworth Castle May 2025 Classic, Performance & Supercar Auction
4 May, 2025
Lot 69
Registration – PYT 865F
Chassis No. – PB59603BW
M.O.T. – Exempt
Odometer – 101,000

Part of one man’s extensive collection, this late-model 1968 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 S is finished in a very modern-looking shade of grey. The paintwork seems highly original and a perfect base for restoration. The interior complements this, with lashings of Jaguar’s famed wood veneer. It has a five-digit odometer, meaning the actual mileage is around 104,800. An HPI report shows it has just three previous keepers, with the first and second owning it for a combined total of more than 51 years. Remember, cars of this age have on average had more than 20 owners!

‘PYT865F’ has limited history; when purchased in 2019, it was understood to have been part of an estate, with the paperwork lost. There is, however, an invoice from 2020, for a full service costing more than £500. Interestingly, ‘PTY865F’ is fitted with an LPG system, to cut running costs. There are detailed instructions on how to use the system. It also has an electric choke.

In summary:
Highly original late-model 1968 Jaguar S-Type S
Just three former keepers
Fitted with an LPG system to cut costs
