S TYPE 1 & 2 1955-1962

The Jaguar S-Type is a luxury saloon car produced by Jaguar from 1955 to 1968. It was the successor to the Jaguar Mark VII, and was the first Jaguar to be designed under the ownership of the British Motor Corporation (BMC). The S-Type was available in two series, the first from 1955 to 1958 and the second from 1959 to 1968. The first series was powered by a 3.4-litre straight-six engine, while the second series was powered by a 3.8-litre straight-six engine.

The S-Type was a popular car, with over 25,000 examples produced. It was praised for its performance, handling, and comfort. However, it was also criticized for its high price and lack of features. The S-Type was replaced by the Jaguar XJ6 in 1968.

Styling

The S-Type had a sleek, low-slung body with a long bonnet and a short boot. The front of the car was dominated by a large grille with vertical slats. The rear of the car featured a pair of distinctive tailfins.

Interior

The S-Type's interior was spacious and luxurious. The front seats were adjustable for both height and reach, and the rear seats were designed to provide ample legroom. The dashboard was made of wood and featured a full range of instruments and controls. The car also came with a number of convenience features, such as power windows, a radio, and a heater.

Performance

The S-Type was a powerful and agile car. The 3.4-litre engine in the Series 1 produced 190 hp, while the 3.8-litre engine in the Series 2 produced 220 hp. The car's top speed was 120 mph (193 km/h) in the Series 1 and 130 mph (209 km/h) in the Series 2. The S-Type's handling was also excellent, thanks to its independent front suspension and live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs.

Conclusion

The Jaguar S-Type was a beautiful, powerful, and luxurious car. It was a popular choice for those who wanted a stylish and capable saloon car. The S-Type is still a sought-after classic car today.
