Lot 055: 1968 JAGUAR S-TYPE 3.8 LITRE

Finished in opalescent green with green leather upholstery, this particular example is equipped with the preferred 3.8 litre dohc straight six engine and desirable four-speed plus overdrive manual gearbox. In the current ownership for the last twenty-four years, it is said to have had some bodywork refurbishment in 1981-1982 and to have undergone an engine rebuild in 1989 (since which time it is thought to have covered a mere 2,000 - 3,000 miles). Taken off the road and put into dry storage some twelve years ago, it is now in need of extensive restoration. A potentially rewarding project, the vendor believes that the mileage of 88,000 shown on its odometer may well represent the total covered from new.
