Have had the pleasure of the 4.2 295bhp model without the supercharger, the J gate auto box is fantastic.
Was about to trade my ZT in for a fantastic blue one with the sport kit it when the day before trade blew the engine.
Basicially this.
FECK!
Still considering one next year. Dont waste your time on anything less than the facelifts and avoid the 4.0 engines, blocks split all over the show.

only thinking george.I love the style of the s type elegant hehe
Think it's fine, never sat in the back but I'm sure I would have noticed if it was really bad.
I did drive 3 chunky bridesmaids in the back during my sister's wedding. They fitted ok.
The engine is immense.

Rear leg room is good, it was designed for the US market and they complained they couldnt get 3 twenty two stone people in the year. LOL, apparently thats the acceptable seating size requirements now!
Black or dark blue is 100% the colour for them imo.

She's away a year ago chum, traded in for the good arnage lol get one bought!
get one bought!
My ex colleague at Jag has one. Insane performance. He converted it to LPG last year as we moved office and his journey doubled. It might be for sale. Its 2002 and black. He couldn't get any interest at 5 grand last year, so converted it to LPG

I'd actually drive that. We used to have an S-Type that came into our place regularly to have work done. I took it for its MOT, and it was a nice smooth drive. Can't remember what engine was in it, think it was a V6 though ?
I agree @Artoir but that black one looks alright, i think with some colour coding or something the front end could look alright. There is/was one for sale in the classifies here for handy money. I think it was described as truly mint or something along the lines, so i immediately discount any cars with sellers saying that as we all know its complete bollocks so God only know what else they are talking rubbish they are talking about the car. Same story with an e46 coupe for sale on here; another "truly mint and immaculate" car. With nearly 100k on it, hmmm yeah ok I'm actually in the market for an 'interesting' automatic car, might extend my search to an S-Type to see if there are any nice looking ones. Although i'd been looking at older stuff, could me tempted by a big Jag at handy money!
EDIT: Something like this would be perfect, i think it looks great.

My dad has one. Hard to fault.
Tempted by something like this if it was dirt cheap, not sure if i'd just be buying a headache with those lights on though. Could very well just need hooked up to a fault reader and the lights put out, i remember when we had that S-Type in the garage, i was forever putting it on the machine and doing all sorts to it.
And look at the interior @Artoir !!

Aye it would be an outright punt on that car but if it was cheap enough, could be worth it. I've bought plenty of cars blind over ebay and been lucky enough with the majority of them so don't mind taking a chance on a cheap car.
I'd take it up to my old workplace and get the machine put on it to see what the craic is, but TBH i'd probably try find something over here. They seem to be ten a penny on ebay! You get some motor for the money alright, really tmpted by one thanks to this thread, wish i hadn't opened it!
