Not sure how to post my album on the thread, but check out the official S Type estate I saw today, chatted with the owner, He sold it for 67K and was just getting it valeted ready to go.

 

 

Sounds an interesting conversion but your photo isn't showing .......

It's a 1991 S type the old one and not a conversion, its a factory model. have a look at my album, its on there.

 

I can see this XJS - Lynx Eventer in your album but not an S-Type Estate?

In my day the XJS was called the S type as the XKE was called the E type, but then Ford stuck the name on a Mondeo and now you call that an S type. So yep thats the S type estate I saw, also called a Lynx Evetner.

 

Sorry Julie the mists of time have clouded the memory, the XJS was never an S Type.

The original S Type was a variation of the MKII

 

The E-type was marketed as an XKE here in the colonies. Same car. As Norri mentioned, the XJS and the original incarnation of the S-type were very very different cars. Likewise, the modern S-type and Mondeo have nothing in common.


The Lynx Eventer was an aftermarket conversion only, not factory. I think they made 65-70(?) of them.
