As stated on the car’s warranty certificate, this opulent S-Type was sold new in Paris by Royal Elysees to the famous actor Paul Meurisse. Retained by the actor’s family until 1977, it was subsequently immobilised for almost 14 years, before being acquired by a collector in 1991. The latter had the car restored and during that time, the original 3.4L engine was replaced by a 4.2L version, paired with a five-speed gearbox in order to make it well-suited for long-distance journeys. As evidenced by invoices, the car had numerous works carried out since 2020, including the replacement of the clutch, radiator and hoses, engine silent blocks, overhaul of the brakes, carburettors etc. The car is fitted with an electronic ignition and the dynamo was replaced in 2023. The upholstery has also been restored. French since new with an illustrious provenance and an engine suited for long-distance drives at high average speeds, this S-Type will undoubtedly appeal to discerning enthusiasts.
