Overview of 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 For Sale by Owner

Graceful, refined, and unmistakably British, the 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8-Litre Saloon represents one of Jaguar’s most elegant sport sedans of the 1960s. Positioned between the compact Mk2 and the larger Mark X, the S-Type blended classic Jaguar luxury with improved rear suspension engineering and long-distance touring comfort. Showing approximately 42,924 miles, this right-hand-drive example is beautifully finished in Sherwood Green and Willow Green over a green leather interior, presenting with the kind of timeless charm that has made vintage Jaguars enduring collector favorites. From its polished wood veneers and chrome wire wheels to its smooth inline-six engine, this S-Type delivers the unmistakable character of a handcrafted Coventry-built luxury saloon from Jaguar’s golden era.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8-Litre Saloon showcases the flowing lines and restrained sophistication that defined Jaguar styling during the 1960s. Finished in an elegant Sherwood Green and Willow Green two-tone combination, the car carries a distinctly upscale British presence accented by extensive chrome trim throughout. Signature Jaguar design elements include the iconic chrome front grille, chrome bumpers, chrome wire wheels, and the famous Jaguar leaper hood ornament proudly mounted atop the hood. The proportions remain clean and understated, while subtle details such as the rear fender lines and quad-headlamp arrangement help give the S-Type its unmistakably classic Jaguar identity. The interior of this 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8-Litre Saloon exudes traditional British craftsmanship with rich wood veneer trim stretching across the dashboard and door tops alongside a beautifully preserved green leather cabin. Smiths gauges sit directly ahead of the driver within a classic wood-accented dashboard layout, while rear passengers are treated to fold-down picnic trays that reinforce the car’s luxury touring pedigree. As a right-hand-drive example, the cabin further enhances the authentic British motoring experience, while the addition of a Kenwood head unit provides discreet modern audio functionality without significantly detracting from the car’s vintage atmosphere.

Engine

Powering this 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8-Litre Saloon is Jaguar’s legendary 3.8L naturally aspirated inline-six, an engine celebrated for its smooth power delivery, refined character, and motorsport pedigree. Fed by twin SU carburetors, the DOHC inline-six delivers effortless cruising performance accompanied by the distinctive mechanical sound that helped establish Jaguar as one of Britain’s premier performance luxury marques. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Borg-Warner 3-speed automatic transmission, providing relaxed touring manners well-suited to the car’s grand touring personality. Complementing the drivetrain is Jaguar’s sophisticated independent rear suspension system and power steering setup, both of which contributed to the S-Type’s reputation for offering a remarkably balanced combination of ride comfort, handling composure, and high-speed stability for its era.

2007 Jaguar S-Type 3.0

Current Ask
SOLD

Introduced in the late ’90s, Jaguar’s S-Type was the British automaker’s midsize luxury car offering. Coming as your typical four-door sedan, the S-Type represented a refreshing alternative to luxury car buyers who didn’t want an E-Class or 5-Series. In 2008, the S-Type was replaced by the XF, making it a fairly short-lived car in a modern context. Today, getting your hands on an S-Type such as this 2007 Jaguar S-Type is a great idea because it’s a relatively uncommon car that’s still cut out for regular driving duties. Furthermore, it’s a definite future classic and one that you shouldn’t miss out on.

SOLD

The Jaguar S Type was the British brand’s competitor in the midsize luxury car segment between 1998 and 2007. During this time, Jaguar was under Ford’s ownership, hence the S-Type shares a platform with some Lincoln models, plus the retro-modern eleventh-generation Ford Thunderbird. Featuring new styling by Geoff Lawson, the S-Type quickly gained favor with fans of the brand for its no-nonsense, old-school British luxury mien. Naturally, Jaguar made a hot variant called the R as well, which is what we’ve got for sale here. So, if you want a neo-classic Jag that can really thrill when called to do so, select this 17,600-mile 2003 Jaguar S-Type R as your steed.
