Auction description:

1966 Jaguar S-Type

Engine: 7B60778/8

Chassis: P1B56769BW

This particular vehicle was originally delivered in the UK and subsequently first registered in New Zealand in November 1971. Its ownership history reveals several previous owners until 1994 when it remained in the same owner’s possession for 27 years before being acquired by our current vendor in 2021.

During the previous ownership period, significant restoration work was carried out, including a complete engine rebuild. Additionally, the vehicle underwent rust treatment on the lower sections of the doors, received new Wilton carpets and a fresh roof lining. The Webasto sunroof was meticulously restored, new wire wheels were added, and an external rearview mirror was installed. The bumpers were re-chromed, new rear tyres were mounted, and the dashboard was refurbished. At some point, the car also underwent a respray. An aftermarket stereo system has been installed, and the odometer currently has 230,000 miles.

The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.

Estimate: $30,000-$40,000
