Comments: This is a superb car. 1966 Jaguar 3.8-S Saloon in gorgeous Opalescent Maroon with a tan interior and knock-off wire wheels.

Has the class and luxury of a vintage Jaguar sedan, he power and sport of an XKE, he alloy 3.8 liter twin carb DOHC engine and 4 speed manual transmission, nd the soft supple ride of a Rolls Royce. The driving experience is truly special. The engine was professionally rebuilt by Faithful Automotive Services in Huntington, Y including a .20 over bore, new 9:1 pistons, new rod and main bearings, new cams, new timing gears, new timing chain, nd tensioners, achine & polish the crankshaft, achine and polish the head and a complete valve job. total labor time was over 130 hours and over $10,000 spent on the engine alone and the additional parts bill exceed $4,000. Top quality work is not inexpensive but the results are indeed top quality. runs perfectly and like new. A new clutch and resurfaced flywheel was installed and the four speed manual gear box rebuilt. The rear end was also gone though and resealed. This car starts right up and settles into a smooth quite idle. There are no mechanical issues. No smoke, o leaks, o noises, nd it runs perfectly on premium unleaded. Accelerates like a 327 V-8 Chevrolet, oticeably more powerful than a 280 SE Mercedes 4.5 V-8! With immediate throttle response from the twin SU carburetors, ots of torque that progresses into a super strong mid range, nd a top speed of over 120 MPH! The four speed manual transmission shifts perfectly and with the over drive electronically actuated by a lever on the steering column cruises comfortably at 75-85 MPH. The ride is soft and supple with excellent control. Not floaty or loose like contemporary American cars of the period. the power rack and pinion has excellent road feel and the 4 wheel disc brakes stop with authority. Which also have been completely gone though as well. This car stops with authority! Exceptionally nice driving car. the interior has been restored with new tan leather seats front and rear.
