THE INTERNATIONAL JAGUAR 'S'-TYPE REGISTER FORUM

Nice cars, I guess you love blue ?
I had a XJ6 and I'm going to a S, The S is more handy ? When yes, a lot ? or just a little bit ?

Still nice to see a S driving ! Especially when you don’t have your own like me

Ok, ok, thanks ! SNG Barrat sells in FR too, and UK is closer to me, ok. My Mechanic (retired but helps his son) Work since 40y on old Jags and others, I think I will let him do the job when it will be the moment then. Thanks Glynn. Of course at first I will give you news from my visit by next week-...

Hi Gentlemen, Here is again the apprentice :lol: Completely new in pre-leyland and S type as you know. The S I will see next does not have the wire wheels. And I want to go for Wire wheels. It' a late 67MY, so these wheels should fit (chrome from the start), and the smaler spinner if I'm right ? htt...

Yes that would be usefull ! By ending the MK2 in 67, may be their colours could be possible for the laters S then (?).
Cass, in my research I saw indeed in FR, BE and DE some OEW with black trim (but I can't be sure if they are OEW or White..)

Hi, I have a new question:
The only catalog red is "Carmen red" for "S", I saw a little few in "Regency red", who was on Catalog for "E" and "MK2". Do you think this choice was possible at the factory ? or only by repainting.

If not natural (again, like old US cars.. ) and it could be fixed when too much play, it's fine !
Not available in new I guess the Marles Adwest Variomatic ? May be I will ask you then for some contacts in the UK where I could find one

Okay thanks ! So if i will feel play in the steering, it will not necessary pull to high costs (?). It can be fixed. I had PAS and not PAS oldtimers. Not PAS cars give me a more sporty sensation, as I better feel the grip, if the tyres grip or loose. I will decide after a while if I ad PAS or not. M...

I have another newby question.... Of the fact that the S type have a steering box and not a rack. Do they have play in the Steering ? (I mean like old US cars ?..) or not.
The car i will try next, and to buy, has no PAS.
Thanks !
