Picked up a 2005 S type R last week, 77,000 miles and seems like the last owner treated the car fairly well. All scheduled maintenance up to 60,000 miles and then no more dealer stamps. I enjoy working on cars and will attempt to perform most of the maintenance myself. That is why i love car forums so much, seems like you can get just about any questions answered. Look forward to searching and sharing!

thanks for the reply everyone! Want to tell you a quick story and why I am here...2 years ago I had never heard of the S Type R and never even considered Jaguar as a car i wanted to own but that soon change on a drive home on the Turner Turnpike in Oklahoma. The Turner Turnpike is a 95 miles strech of road between OKC and Tulsa, well maintained and a speed limit of 75mph. Several sections of this road can lead to some higher speeds depend on traffic and conditions. I was driving home in my Volvo S 60 R (300hp, AWD, 6sp manual) I love my S 60, its great fun, plenty of power and torque and a great highway cruiser. As I was driving, I see in the distance a pair of HID headlights and the S Type grill. The HID captured my attention, never knew the S type had this...then the grill, it looked different, never seen that style on an S type either. As the car got closer..it just had a different look, more agressive..so I'm thinking, wow this guy has really fixed up is S type..looks good! At this point I thought it was all cosmetic, then he passed me, probably cruising at 85 - 90mph and i noticed the huge Brembo calipers behind the wheels and the R logo and I knew this was no ordinary S type. Once i got home i did some research, found out about the car and i was hooked. I knew i had to have one, and 2 weeks ago, that came true! Loving the car so far and looking forward to my trip down the turnpike to OKC.
