It was a technically more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mark 2, offering buyers a more luxurious alternative to the Mark 2 but without the size and expense of the Mark X. The S-Type sold alongside the Mark 2, as well as the Jaguar 420 following its release in 1966.The original Jaguar 'S'-type attracts a small but dedicated group of owners who appreciate the style of this luxurious compact saloon. The 'S'-type is slowly gaining recognition throughout the Jaguar world, as more fully restored cars appear at various events and people recognise their worth.
