I love the S-Type and plan to get one in future. This is a great video, made even better by not adding annoying and irrelevant background music! cheers!
Mk 1 body (boot, bumper and lights), so it must have sat in a showroom for a while before its first owner, dashboard, bonnet and front bumper are Mk 2 which it got as an R model. I had an 04 Mk 2 body V8 Sport in black/cream (same dash), lovely car, was a senior Jag exec's company car before me.
Hi Terry. I just picked up my S Type same condition just mint, for 1500 US DOLLARS.Only issue I found was the left side steering knuckle shot. So look at the suspension really good. But great buy none the less.
Not a huge fan of the styling but that's a hell of a lot of car for the money. Had a brief go in one of these many years ago and was surprised how good they are to drive and the supercharged V8 makes a lovely noise.
Owned it just over two years now. Spent quite a bit on it and it drives really well, but thinking of selling it as I've got my eye on a 1966 Mk2 Jaguar. If you're interested let me know.
@@BRITISHAERIALVIEWS Nice car. I'm looking at XKRs but maybe more than I want to spend on a car. It is tempting. Portsmouth way, you say? I was working down in those parts not so long ago, on the dock extension in the port.
Hi l wonder if u could help me l live in Africa l have a 2000 s type but l have problem dodgy remote and worn key can l change the lock barrels and replacement remote thks.
I have an S-Type R same year same color in the US with 114k miles I got it for $3,600 but I have the jaguar emblem on the jood and my wood grain is a different color but man are they great cars.
Interesting...Most people in the States seem to be Jag-Haters as a norm. (Personally, I blame the way they pronounce the name: JAG-WARRRR) Some say it is a Lincoln clone with many problems.....My overall impression is that Jags in the UK seem to be fine ....they just don't like living in the US! Sadly, where I live, older & lesser versions of this model fetch silly money, unlike the UK where they are so ...so....cheap as a used vehicle. Must be an insurance issue? As this chap says. 500 quid (must be over 40!) is NOT a whole lot of money for insurance...but it's not cheap either. I reckon it is the potential repair bills that make Brits shy away.... and the reputation is mostly unjustified as a potential money pit.
@@patagualianmostly7437 I agree with they don't like being in the states 😂 ive had plenty of work done to mine, I did it all myself because of course im not paying thousands in labor to install parts when im studying to be a tech myself. They do use quite a bit of parts off of the lincoln ls but the ls can't compare to the power or styling of the str
@@BRITISHAERIALVIEWS Thankyou for your opinion Terry, I have only researched these vehicles recently, not sure which model to go for, 🤔 presently driving an old Rover 75 CDTi manual
I recomend it. If you live in England is then I think you can get parts cheaper when need them. I amwritting you from SouthAmerica, and I pay months ago USD 10,000 for my 2006 Jaguar S Type. How cost in Uk?
@@casualagent7250 I got mine from a elderly guy who hadn't used it for nearly 3yrs, it's a 2.5Ltr sports executive petrol always wanted one, was very lucky to get it.👍
No, not yet but it's lived all it's life in London and the surrounding counties, and I have had as good a look as possible and all looks okay. It's having a service soon so will be up on a ramp. I'll have a better look then. Fingers crossed! 🤞😁
@@BRITISHAERIALVIEWS You can't see anything even on a ramp until you actually remove the plastic sill covers. They are an awful design and trap water behind them and held against the metal sill. A better design to promote rust would be hard to invent. But all isn't lost, replacement metal sills are readily available. Having them fitted on mine did cost close to a grand though. Good luck with yours, fingers crossed for you!
@@Robfromnorfolk Good advice there Rob..... Prevention is always better than the cure. Amazing though that even in this day and age they don't avoid the errors of the past.... Guess that's just "self-preservation" kicking in! Like they would love their cars to be rust free.......FOREVER! Never going to happen, mate.
If you don’t mind me asking who did you insure your car with as I just insured a 2007 stype 2.7 Xd I have no clams got it insured for £550 some wanted£1100 I’m 56 or did you insure as a classic thanks
How much??!! Last year I paid approx £420 with Adrian Flux but only because I previously had my Jaguar XJ6 Series 3 with them and had a years no claims bonus, but also because other companies wanted over £600! This year, because I always compare prices with comparison sites as I own 3 cars I, and because I now had 2 year's no claims bonus, I managed to get it insured for £258 with Churchill insurance. Just a normal policy not classic. I am 56 next birthday and live near Portsmouth. Suppose it depends on where you live and your accident /driving history.
T P thanks for reply I live in loughton essex don’t know why they asked so Mutch as been driving since 1981 no accidents might try Churchill’s next year thanks enjoyed your video good luck with your car
Wow, really? Must have forced an old lady to sell you it. 😂 Do you work for 'We buy any car'? Seriously though is it running and driving without any major issues?
In British pronunce the R like a AH. You are crazy, American should say R, AR. Well, I have 2006 Jaguar S Type 3.0 color black midnight interior beige, steering wheel wooden finished, and 4 doors all to the street. Greetings from rhe city of Santiago, Chile. God save the Queen, in Autum and Spring. XD
Well spotted and bought..... a "lorra lorra" car for the money..... Just think, you could have bought a Kia for that money..... Yeah, we know, but hey, I'd rather spend a grand + keeping that shipshape than bumming around in a boggo-standard family saloon at three times the price!

You got a great deal there. Hope the car been kind to you over the last 2 years, going to watch the update video.
Great buy. Brilliant
thats a stunner mate , good price , these things are no slouch . mine is a weapon . .leave the exhaust alone sound great . let it breath !!
This is a nice car man, looking to get mine as soon as one pops up on the market
Got one yet? 🤔

Nice video. I’ve got a 2005 2.5 s type and I need a reliable mechanic. I’m based in Middlesex. Thanks
Hey Terry. Did you ever get the hot air issue fixed?. I have the same problem on my 56 plate R. Been quoted 3k :-(
That was the bargain of the century. Hope you are having fun with it.

@@BRITISHAERIALVIEWS And worth every penny I'm sure. Not a bad investment, 2 years of motoring pleasure and it's nearly doubled in value.
@@BRITISHAERIALVIEWS Maybe tell me more...
Nice car Terry.
I’m really tempted to sell my van and buy one as a daily.
Would you recommend?
Definitely providing you don't need to travel far every day. 22mpg generally and 30ish on the motorway.
That noise is pure filth, and I love it 🤤

The S-Type R is one of my favorite cars, yet the pre 2005 models look the best but have the most old looking dials ever.
And where can I find one for such a price....
Just watched your video, very nice car for
£2750, sorted. Am contemplating an S-type myself, TDV6 sport with a manual gearbox 🤔
Err no, don't get a diesel especially a manual! Nothing but problems as testified by owners on the forums.
@@BRITISHAERIALVIEWS
Thankyou for your opinion Terry, I have only researched these vehicles recently, not sure which model to go for, 🤔 presently driving an old Rover 75 CDTi manual
Definitely don't buy a manual Jag and diesels are unreliable. Buy a cheap petrol S-type, you won't be disappointed.
am interested where the tv module is.
its a part of the head unit .control module .
Wow so much car for the money!!!
I’m really tempted to start saving the pennies for an S type...

Have you dared to take the plastic sill covers off and look underneath yet? I did on my similar aged V8R and it wasn't at all pretty.
