Jaguar S-Type
The Jaguar S-Type is a luxury saloon car produced by Jaguar Cars in the United Kingdom from 1963 to 1968. Announced on 30 September 1963 it was a technically more sophisticated development of the Mark 2, offering buyers a more luxurious alternative 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. A retro-styled vehicle with the same name was also produced, based on the design of the original S-Type vehicles.
