Description
Here is my cherished 2007 Jaguar S-Type R - one of the best private-sale examples available at the moment. I've owned this car for the past 18 months, and in addition to a lot of work carried out by the previous enthusiast owner (take a look at the many invoices!), I have taken care of a number of 'to do' items as well as anything flagged at inspection or MOT. This will ensure the car continues to beat many a challenger (hello BMW M3s) for years to come.
The factory spec of the car includes:
Two-tone leather - black and grey
Embossed 'R' on seats
'R' badging - external and internal
Alpine stereo and speakers - including amp
6-disc CD changer
19" BBS 'Barcelona' wheels
Radar cruise control - working
Electric adjustable seats - driver and passenger
Electric adjustable steering column - working
Auto lights
Auto windscreen wipers
Front amd rear electric heated windscreen
Xenon headlights
Factory privacy glass
Ski hatch
Front and rear carpets
The only electrical item not working is the parking sensors. I have changed all of the front sensors, but haven't got round to the rear.
You'll see from the previous invoices a lot of care has gone into this car. The much needed sills work has all been completed. The recent MOT advisory is mistaken, as this is just surface rust and dirt - see the pics.
The latest two oil and filter changes were done by my trusted local mechanic - in Feb and Nov 2024, using quality Petronas Syntium. It's only ever had premium Momentum petrol in my usage. Bodywork and paint are immaculate.
In my ownership I have done:
Rear upper AND lower arms - it rides beautifully
Front and rear discs and pads (MTEC discs and Brembo pads)
x4 new Nankang tyres
Re-cover headliner and sunvisors
Two 'new' used headlights - fixed the notorious drooping, so peace of mind
In the last few years it has had:
Repaint and finish quarter panel, front bumper, wheel arches and door trim
Refurb of all wheels
Refurb brake calipers
Magnaflow cats and exhaust - gives a wonderful noise, but without the drone
Replaced alternator
Diff service
All in all, this is a bloody lovely car. Genuine reason for sale - a baby and a dog need ferrying about.
FSH - mix of dealer and specialist. Two original sets of keys. A full filing box of invoices and information.
Be warned - if you visit and test-drive, you WILL want it! Located between Reading and Basingstoke. Happy to pick up from Basingstoke/Bramley station for viewing/test drive.
