Beautiful car. I've had my STR for over 10 years and with a supercharger swap is running over 500bhp. Jaguar should have fitted a twin screw and LSD from factory in these, but apparently their owners at the time, Ford, prevented them due to cost reasons even though they were tested in development. Fortunately both upgrades are available in the aftermarket.
@@toooldclassics if you are ever interested in swapping the supercharger or the eaton fails let me know, as I make kits. The twin screw runs a lot cooler and I haven't had any burst coolant pipes with it and fun isn't killed by the ecu pulling timing due to heat soak after a few short runs like with the eaton. It also all looks stock in the engine bay.
A LOVELY car like many Jaguars are. The S-type is smoth and effortlessly transports you from A to B. Lots of power and delivered when asked for. If you enjoy British style buy one.
@@richardsmith9509 It is a Japanese market S-Type R that was imported back into the UK late last year. The instrument cluster and radio was converted to UK spec including UK Sat Nav dvd. As it's 2002.5 car I've needed to use the Jaguar SDD/IDS software to enable some options that were disabled. I've also discovered that it does not have the full alarm system that UK/Europe spec cars have as standard. Otherwise, all good.
i liked the intro with the contrast of colour
Thanks. I used Davinci Resolve and a layer mixer node to do that.

I do think that S-Type Rs are underrated. Your mods sound ideal 👍.

Out of interest, what’s the cost of that?
