Nice S type, just got to have a leaper to make you feel warm and fuzzy when you are driving.
It's a real Jaguar once you have a cat on the bonnet.

Hi Gary, you can pick up a second hand leaper from Triumph Rover Spares in Lonsdale for about $100 and then you will need to go to a crash repairer to have the bonnet drilled and the leaper attached. I took mine to Colorado Crash Repairs Morphett Vale but if you feel game, you can do it yourself. It will cost between $50-$100 to have it done. It was well worth it... now it looks like a Jag Cheers... Dave.

The leaper really compliments the S-Type shape really well!

I found the eBay leapers are almost identical to the genuine item, they bolt up the same though the factory cut outs on earlier S-Types.
