We have inherited a Jaguar S type which my father-in-law had made notes that it was registered 4 months before the Browns Lane production line started building the S type.

It was owned by Jaguar for over a year and he thinks used as a prototype test car at Jaguar.

The VIN is SAJAC01FXXGL20900  he noted the X means The Whitley Engineering Centre in Abbey Rd.

Can anyone confirm this? and have any further info please?  The car is now for sale.

Thanks

Ivan

Welcome to the club, Ivan.

The s type was designed in 1999 and 53,000 were sold in 1999  ---  this could mean that the 1999 model could have "overlapped" over the year as often happens.

The book below covers the S Type and there was a lot of research done inspite of the 1989 instead of the correct 1999.  Otherwise the research was exact and I say that because I wrote the book and spent 2 years doing it.

If you want to buy the book look at "Transporterama"
