Jaguar S-Type

What is your favourite car of all time?

The S-Type saloons were the result of grafting Jaguar's independent rear suspension system onto the MkII shell. Introduced in 1963, the S-Type fell clearly between two of the company's existing models, the Mk X and the Mk II combining numerous elements of both. Mechanically, the S-Types were similar to the Mark IIs except that the 2.4 litre engine was not available. This was due to the fact that they were 3cwt heavier than the Mk 2 and it would not have given the new car a sufficiently brisk performance. The whole idea of the 3.4 litre and 3.8 litre S-Types was to produce a car that was more manageable than the Mk X and more luxurious than the Mk II, with better ride because of the independent suspension.
