Auction description:
Lot number 0
Estimate £14,000 - £16,000
Description Jaguar S-Type 3.8 Manual
Registration FPE 414B
Year 1964
Colour Opalescent Light Blue
Engine size 3,781 cc
Chassis No. P1B52707DN
Engine No. 7B54446/8

First registered in December 1964, this particular car has had just two owners from new and has covered a warranted 81,000 miles to date. The first owner was a Dunlop Tyres executive with close links to the Jaguar factory at Browns Lane where the car was usually serviced during his 23 years ownership. The current owner bought the car in 1987 and has continued to maintain it carefully ever since.

Finished in Opalescent Light Blue with a cream leather interior and a manual overdrive gearbox, the car is said to be in totally original condition throughout and has been regularly rust-proofed and always garaged when not in use. Even the paintwork is said to be original, the only deviation from standard being the fitment of electronic ignition for easier starting and smoother running.

Said to be in generally good condition throughout and to drive beautifully with current MOT and tax, it is due to be driven over 100 miles to the sale. It is most unusual to find totally original and unrestored Jaguars from this era so this is a rare find indeed.
