Got to be worth at least 4x times the price you paid once fixed up, real bargain! The interior with brown piping and walnut veneers is super rare on a S-Type.
Best of luck with the project, I bought my first XJ a bit older at 19.

thanks!!
the s type is my dream car and the fact i found a relatively good one of £450 really shows how much some people undervalue them, they are a great car and an appreciating classic.
ha ha im dead on 6ft so average height :mrgreen:Are you tall enough to see over the top of the steering wheel?
(only pulling your leg!)
Welcome to the madhouse and enjoy your Jaguar.
she is a great car and one i will cherish

Some people just don't have any interest in cars and don't want to know about thing about how to maintain etc.
I am shocked at how many men have break down services change wheels for them!
if you cant change a tire or do basic maintenance you really should own a car
just my humble opinion

Yes totally agree!if you cant change a tire or do basic maintenance you really should own a car
I have a relation who rose to be deputy chief exec on a city council,I bought him an aerosol 'tyre repair kit' one Christmas when he confessed to being unable to swap a wheel on his car!if you cant change a tire or do basic maintenance you really should'nt own a car
