Background: MAKING ITS FIRST PUBLIC APPEARANCE AT A SPECIAL PARIS PREVIEW - THE NEW "S" MODEL JAGUAR, LATEST LUXURIOUS PRODUCT OF THE FAMOUS BRITISH CAR FIRM. THE "S" SERIES, AVAILABLE WITH EITHER 3.4 OR 3.8 LITRE SIX-CYLINDER ENGINE, FITS INTO THE JAGUAR RANGE BETWEEN THE ALREADY EXISTING "MARK TWO" AND "MARK TEN." IT'S EXPECTED TO BE ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PARIS MOTOR SHOW, OPENING NEXT WEEK.

GIVEN A NEW BODY LINE AT FRONT AND REAR, THE CAR CAN BE BOUGHT FITTED WITH ONE OF THREE TYPES OF GEARBOX: MANUAL, AUTOMATIC, OR BOTH COMBINED IN A NEW FORM GIVING THE DRIVER POWER OF CHOICE. ANOTHER FEATURE IS THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN WHICH CAN BE ADJUSTED IN LENGTH TO INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS.

DESIGNED AS A 4/5 SEATER WITH BOTH FRONT SEATS ADJUSTABLE, THE JAGUAR "S" HAS AN UNUSUALLY LARGE LUGGAGE BOOT AND 14-GALLON PETROL TANK. THE FOUR DISC BRAKES, TOGETHER WITH WINDOW STYLING GIVING WIDE VISIBILITY, PROVIDE FOR SAFE DRIVING. STANDARD FITTINGS ARE A NEW AND MORE EFFICIENT HEATER AND USUAL COMPREHENSIVE INSTRUMENTATION.
