This 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 Sedan was offered for sale at the 2007 Worldwide Group Auction held at Hilton Head, SC where it was estimated to sell for $30,000 - $40,000. The car is powered by a six-cylinder engine that displaces 3781cc and breathes through two SU HD6 carburetors. It has a Borg Warner three-speed automatic gearbox and Dunlop servo disc brakes on all four wheels.

In 2006 at the JCNA Concours Champions Division event, the car was judged 99.98 points and is one of the most outstanding restored example in existence. Its restoration was completed in 2005 and finished in correct Oxford White with Tan Parchment interior. This flawless example features perfectly polished walnut veneer wood accents and leather of the highest grade.

At auction the lot was sold for $36,900 including buyer's premium.

The Jaguar Mark II was introduced in October 1959 and continued in production until 1967. The MKII was built as a replacement for the 2.4 and 3.4 liter saloon, also known as the MKI.
The MK II was based on the MKI, but the result was different in many ways, both aesthetically and mechanically. Improvements to the design and modern materials resulted in a reduced overall weight. The interior was completely redesigned but retained its luxury and elegance with such amenities as leather and wood veneer. The attention to detail both inside and out, only amplified the ambiance of sophistication. Leather seats continued to be standard until 1967 when Jaguar offered it as optional in an effort to reduce the cost of the vehicle.

Under the hood was an XK engine, the same that had won at LeMans in 1951 and 1953. The XK engine was now enlarged to 3.8 liters producing around 220 horsepower. The engine continued to prove itself as a reliable and capable power plant.
