Classic Jaguar S-Type

Well, July has already come and we are at the 3^rd quarter of the year already and before I forget, Happy Fourth of July to our readers in the United States of America and thanks for your support. As the first write-up for the month, I will feature another rare Jaguar. A rather interesting Jaguar that I came across recently was a Jaguar S-Type. This S-Type is not to be mistaken with the new Jaguar S-Type. This S-Type was built from 1963 – 1968 and there were about 35,000 units built of which they came in two engine variations which were the 3.4 litre and the 3.8 litre. They were both inline 6 cylinder engines and they were similar to those in the Jaguar Mark 2.

The S-Type was a car caught between the two worlds of the Jaguar Mk 2 and the Jaguar Mk 10 of which I’ve done write-ups on previously. For those of you who know the Jaguar Mark 10, the S-Type will definitely look very familiar as it’s basic shape and design is similar to the Mark 10 but with a front similar to a Mark 2. The design of the two tailpipes were also similar to that of the Mark 10. Even the interior layout was similar to that of both the Mark 2 as well as the Mark 10. Just have a look at the photos and you would know what I mean.

A very rare car (at least in Malaysia), the S-Type is not an easy car to spot here in Malaysia. It is almost as rare as the Mark 10 when compared to the Mark 2 which you can still find quite a number running off and on. And of course when I came across this S-Type it certainly attracted me as Jaguars are rare and finding a S-Type in good condition is even rarer. I’m sure if you are a Jaguar person you would know what I mean. The car had an air-condition unit as well as a radio added on but other than that it was a very very original car with a beautiful interior. Below are shots of the car I was mentioning and below I’ve attached a video for you to have a good look at the S-Type. Do enjoy.

Jaguar Mk2

Jaguars will always be head turners no matter where you drive it. Don’t believe me? Then you just got to buy one and realise it... haha... Be it an old classic SS or the latest XJs. Well, here is another head turner, the Jaguar Mark2 or simply known as the Mk2. Prior to this I had done a write up about another classic Jaguar, the Jaguar Mk10. Well, the Mk2 is somewhat a smaller version of the Mk10. Probably one of the most common of all classic Jaguars around the world, the Mk2 was the successor to the short-lived Mk1 of which it also inherited it’s looks from.

Over the period of production between the years of 1959-1967 there were about 80,000 units built. The powerhouse for these models were the famous XK engines which came in 3 inline 6 engine variations  which included the 2.4 litre, the 3.4 litre and the biggest of all, the 3.8 litre. In Malaysia, owning a 3.4 litre or a 3.8 litre Mk2 is something to be amazed by as there are not many of these cars on the road as the most common models available are the 2.4 litre models. Automatic transmission cars are very very rare even around the world.

On a personal note, I like the Mk2 but I have to say compared to the Mk10, I’d go for the Mk10 anytime. The white car below is a Mk2 2.4 here in Malaysia and of course the last pic below shows my Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 as well... :) Notice the significant difference in both designs from two different eras about 20 years apart.
