1966 Jaguar S type 3.4L Opalescent Silver Blue For Sale

 Bought to France during 2021 the car has been a retirement project for its owner during the last two years.  The car is almost ready to undergo its Controle Technique (equivalent to UK MOT).  Due to an unexpected house move, there is no longer space to house this much loved project.  It is the 3.4L version with power steering, brake servo and 4 speed manual box and overdrive. It shows 68000 miles which is believed to be genuine.

This is a complete car and many new parts have been fitted.   There has been a top end overhaul on the engine with new gaskets, hoses and electronic ignition fitted. Compression figures are all good and it shows at least 40 psi oil pressure at 2000 rpm when up to temperature.  The complete front suspension has been removed, dismantled and overhauled with new track rods, bushes and suspension mounts fitted.   Front brake callipers have been inspected, cleaned and new discs and pads fitted and front brake hoses renewed.  Front ball joint gaiters replaced.  Petrol tanks have been removed, cleaned and sealed whilst minor bodywork repairs have been fully dealt with, hence primer finish to doors, boot lid and rear valence.  All lights, wipers, horn and ancillaries work as they should.

The car interior is in very good condition, with all woodwork and veneers having been professionally refinished.  It has blue leather upholstery in good condition for age and seats appear most comfortable and luxurious.  Most of the external  chrome work is in good condition , but the front bumper needs replacing or re-chroming.  The car would benefit from refinishing in Jaguar Opalescent blue.

The rear brakes require overhaul and it would benefit from a new brake servo and new seals on the Burman steering box.  It requires some minor under body welding to RH  jacking point, front cross member behind valence and cover plate to LH sill.  Existing exhaust system can be continued to be used, but requires new rear silencers and tail pipes.

The car is located in Rhone Alps, SW France. The asking price is 7200 euros. Contact 0033-787218810 for further information.
