Owner: Peter Pratt

I AM 55 Years old I suffered Stroke 2 years ago In Jan 2010 in an effort to give me something to do I purchased a 1965 LHD 3.8 S-Type Automatic that I knew needed work done. This has been the best therapy I could have asked for, i work on the car for as long or short as I want, and I have really enjoyed it. I am not trying to turn the car into a concur car, just a comfortable reliable second car to run around in at weekends

This is a true original 1965 3.8 Jaguar S-Type. The Jaguar Heritage Trust has indicated that this is 1 of only 75 early S-Types left on their World Wide Register. I am the 2nd owner of the car and have had it for 6 years. The prior owner bought the car brand new in California in 1965 before retiring to Palm Beach Florida. I was not looking for a show car, but a car I could use on weekends. Although it drives well, I put most of my time into restoring and replacing parts here and there, therefore I did not put many miles on it. I have a folder of receipts that come with the car along with a number of parts, some original and some newer.

The front dash cover, speedo and instrument panel wood needs to be re-laminated. The paint work does need a little attention (it's about an 8 out of 10 from 5ft). The interior leather on the drive side seat has a blemish. The brakes are typical Jaguar, meaning a hard pedal that slows you, rather than stopping on a dime. All gauges and lights work. Engine and gearbox are matching numbers. New tires. Drives well. Car just passed 2017 inspection. Comes with certificate from The Prestige Jaguar Heritage Trust.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
