The Jaguar
S-type saw the light of day in the year 1963. The S-type came between
the Jaguar MK II and the large MK X.
The S-type was a combination of it's two sisters, the front looked like
the MK II and the rear of the car resembled the MK X.
The Jaguar S-type was a better handling car than the MK II and it
offered more space for passengers and their luggage. On the other hand
it was a more modest choice than the
enormous MK X, so Jaguar customers had an extra option to choose.
The car is powered by the great XK 3.8 litre six-cylinder engine
and drives very comfortable.
