Default 07 v. 08 S-Type

Were there any differences/changes/updates between the 2007 and 2008 S-Type 3.0? I read somewhere that the 08 had 18 in. wheels as standard. Any other differences?

I thought I read about some of the differences somewhere. Maybe wikipedia has some of that info. Some of that info I think might also be listed somewhere in the S-Type FAQ. Did you check that out yet? I think someone supplied a brochure for some of the models that had that type of info.

Since 2008 marked the end of the production line for the S-Type, I'm guessing that the differences between the 2007 and 2008 models are negligible and most differences may not even be documented. By the last production-year run, I'm sure Jaguar was basically emptying the parts bin and attempting to utilize most of whatever they already had on hand to keep costs to a minimum in new owner Tata's best interests....

Thanks for the replies. I checked the FAQ and Wikipedia before posting, and did not come up with anything. I will search for the brochure.

Maybe one of the ones I posted? To look, use Advanced Search with
keyword - brochure
user - jagv8
forum - select S-Type
threads or posts - posts

no changes in the last production year, back when they were switching over the XK8 to the new 07 model they used some of their left over parts & materials (actual prodcution for many of the 06 XK8's took place in 05)on the S-Type Sport Pkgs like I got. I think it is actually a pretty smart move by Jaguar, allows you to get a limited production vehicle if you are a collector.
