2007 | Jaguar S-Type 4.2 V8 R

The Jaguar S-Type is an executive car that debuted at the 1998 Birmingham Motor Show and was marketed by Jaguar for model years 1999-2008, reviving the nameplate of the company's 1963-68 S-Type as a four-door notchback saloon. The supercharged S-Type R (Jaguar STR for short) joined the lineup in 2002, and the hope was that it would compete with BMW's M5 and the Mercedes E55 AMG. The R was powered by the newly revised handbuilt 4.2 litre V8 with an Eaton M112 supercharger, producing 400bhp and could accelerate from 0-60mph in 5.3 seconds. The R also has a rear apron, side-skirts, and front apron with built-in fog-lamps, a rear spoiler, a brace located near the rear subframe, and R badging on the boot lid and both front wings.

Supplied by Harwoods of Chichester in February 2007, this S-Type R is finished in Lunar Grey, complemented by a black and Ivory leather interior and sport aluminium dashboard accents. Showing a mileage of 104,000 miles, backed by a comprehensive service history with Jaguar dealer stamps and work carried out by independent specialists. The history file includes the original S-Type faux leather booklet wallet, original service book with nine stamps, the last of which being on 4th January 2025, invoices for servicing and maintenance, the original service book and a valid MoT test certificate until February 2026 with no advisories noted. Factory-equipped with features such as heated seats, a navigation system and parking sensors, the car also boasts the enhanced suspension, braking and performance upgrades that define the S-Type R

With just 1,274 S-Type R's sold in the UK, this rare and well-maintained example is a testament to Jaguar's engineering prowess. Supplied with a V5C registration document, original book packs, a stamped service book and a spare wheel and jack. Comfort and performance and ready to be enjoyed, with the added benefit of being ULEZ compliant. Consigned by Will Penrose

Interested parties should note that it has come to our attention that there is a chain rattle noise on start-up of the vehicle, this disappears almost immediately after start up, with the engine sounding very smooth thereafter.
