The seller offers for sale this 1968 Jaguar 3.4 Automatic, a classically styled British luxury sedan presented in a metallic red finish. The car has undergone a siginificant restoration, including an overhaul of the engine and gearbox to original specifications. It features a 3,442cc six-cylinder petrol engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
This example is equipped with several upgrades for comfort and usability, such as power steering and air conditioning.
Chrome spoke rims are fitted, and the tires have ample tread. Paint thickness has been measured evenly across the car, indicating a consistent and professional respray. The chrome elements are renewed.
The interior maintains an original appearance and has been preserved with care. It is clean, with minimal wear. Headrests and seatbelts have been added to both front and rear seats for enhanced safety. The dashboard, instruments, and boot space are complete and in good condition.
The Jaguar S-type 3.4 was introduced as a mid-range luxury car, building on the success of the Mk2. It combined the compact agility of the Mk2 with the independent rear suspension of the larger Mark X, improving both comfort and handling. The 3.4-litre engine, derived from Jaguar’s legendary XK inline-six, delivered respectable performance while maintaining smoothness and refinement.
With its opulent leather interior, polished wood veneer dashboard, and spacious rear seats, the S-type was popular among business professionals and the upper middle class during the late 1960s. This model offered an alternative to the more aggressive Jaguar 420 or larger saloons, striking a balance between luxury, style, and dynamic capability. Over time, the S-type has gained a following among collectors who appreciate its blend of heritage, aesthetics, and usability.
Jaguar’s reputation for craftsmanship and performance during this period helped solidify its image as a manufacturer of desirable and luxurious vehicles. The 3.4-litre variant, in particular, remains accessible to enthusiasts looking for an entry into classic British motoring. Restoration examples like this one are increasingly sought after, especially when presented with tasteful upgrades that enhance drivability without compromising originality.
