Stunning classic

This is my 3rd s type 3.0 litre v6 se in the British racing Green and by far the best one I’ve ever owned. Stunning looking very comfortable silky smooth ride and effortless driving performance. 2005 year and over 100000 miles with jaguar full service history. A true classic that puts a smile on my face every day

Antique Classic Car

My Jaguar is a 2003 S-Type V8 4.2. I must say the best running car ever made. However finding parts today is difficult ,it is running like a new Jag. I’ve been driving this car 20yrs looks brand new. Outshine any car in looks and ride.😄I’d sell to a collector now.
