Jaguar used this name twice. The first S-Type, from 1963 to 1968, was a Mark 2 with a longer boot and the independent rear suspension of the Mark X. The second, from 1999 to 2007, was a mid-sized saloon whose round-eyed styling looked back to those 1960s cars, built while Ford owned Jaguar and sharing its platform with the Lincoln LS.
