Jaguar S Type R 2003
Specifications
Description
From its distinctive mesh grille down to its open 18-in. five-spoke alloy wheels, the S-Type R has a strong, purposeful look that is in keeping with the 400-bhp 4.2-liter supercharged V-8 found just aft of the front intake.
But the S-Type R is more than just bigger tires or revised damping and spring rates. It represents a major under-skin upgrade across the entire S-Type range.
To me, the S-Type R is a Stunning And Very Impressive Car – Personally, I love the look of the car inside and out. I love being in the car and driving it. It drives with a fluidity I have not found in other cars. You just have to put your foot on the pedal and glide and if you are not careful, you can build up speed rapidly. It is fun and exciting to drive. Mechanically its an amazing car.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- Immaculate Condition Throughout
- Only three owners in New Zealand – 1st registered in NZ in 2011 – imported from Japan.
- Very good built quality
- It has acceleration like you won't believe, can stop on a dime, & corners like a race car, and yet, it makes a nice family car.
- 400+ bhp
- Six speed automatic transmission
- Navigation system
- Cruise Control
- Steering wheel audio controls
- Keyless entry
- Heated front seats and heaps of other gadgets and accessories to keep you happy.
- The sound of the supercharger begs you to play with the accelerator. Its one of the best braking vehicles around with a 60 to 0 stopping distance of a Lamborghini.
- The ride is stiff like a true race car; yet completely smooth and supple at the exact same time.
- Well serviced and maintained vehicle.
This impressive 400-hp sedan produces lovely road music: a muted high-pitched aria from the Roots-type blower over the bass-drum beat of the twin exhaust tips. It's a memorable chorus that repeats with each imperceptible upshift of the car's new six-speed automatic transmission. At full or even part throttle, the S-Type R effortlessly wills itself down the road. Then, there is the visceral and visual rush as the landscape goes sailing by like a soft-edged, French impressionist painting in motion. Royal acceleration – Jaguar style.
Car will be sold WOF'd and Registered if sold in New Zealand.

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.

While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
