"S-Types had either a 3.4 or a 3.8 litre engine, the latter the only unit offered in the United States. When a larger 4.2 litre engine was introduced, the model was renamed the Jaguar 420. It sported a grille that was reminiscent of the full-size Jaguar Mark X. The 420 was twinned with a more luxurious model called the Daimler Sovereign — this was the first time a Daimler did not have its own engines, but was a rebadged Jaguar with minor trim differences.
The original S-Types were cancelled in August 1968 with the arrival of the larger Jaguar XJ6."-------------

thanks for the links crouwel! looking through them rite now.
does the "20 G" symbolise the Jag 420 ? If so, then i think we have got a winner.
- Crouwel0
the G on there is definitly from the name:
JAGUAR.

in that era Jaguar often first mentioned the type (underlined) and underneath the car's brand, all center aligned on the boot indeed.
