The S-Type was Produced At Jaguar's Castle Bromwich Facility In Birmingham And Made Its World Debut In The March Of 1999. This New Breed Of Jaguar Was Designed By Geoff Lawson And At The Time He Wanted To Offer A Body Similar To The Heritage Jaguar Mark II, With Signature Body Lines And Elegant Curves. The Initial Offering From The Factory Was To Compete With The BMW 5 Series And Yes The German Car May Have Offered Slightly Better Specification, However, The Jaguar S Type Was More Suited To Those Stereo Typical Oxford Villages, That Offered Clients A Luxurious Motoring Experience And A Far More Special Environment For Driver And Passengers To Enjoy. Today This Distinctive Shape Is Viewed As An Important Part Of Jaguar`s Glorious Past Endeavours And For Excellent Examples, Can Be An Excellent Avenue To Start Your New Motoring Collection? As Part Of The Companies Line Up In 2002, Production Included The Top Of The Range Jaguar S Type R Super-Charged Version, With The Birmingham Factory Wanting To Offer A High Powered Luxury Saloon With Their Eyes Firmly Set On The Likes Of The BMW M5 & The Mercedes E55 AMG From The Germans. The Mighty R Was Powered By A Newly Revised Hand Built Four Point Two Litre V8 Monster With An Eaton M112 Supercharger Which Produced A More Than Attractive 400 Break Horse Power, Which Was Capable Of Accelerating Both Driver And Four Passengers From 0-62 MPH In An Astonishing 5.3 Seconds, Would Complete A Quarter Mile Charge In 13.8 Seconds @ 103.1 MHP And Would Further Climb To An Electrically Limited Top Speed Of 155 MPH. Of Course, The Performance Figures Achieved Had Been More Than Respectable To Compete With Its Main Rivals, But Still, The Company Never Lost Sight With The Signature Luxurious Refinements, Which Had Made This Much Loved Then British Product So Very Desirable To Enthusiastic Buyers From Around The World And Even After The Company Merge In 2013, This High-End Manufacture Is Still Viewed As Being Quintessentially British.
