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
