This 1973 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 is finished in dark blue over blue upholstery, and during prior ownership a fuel-injected 5.3-liter V12 was installed and mated to its four-speed manual transmission. Additional modifications include a Kenwood CD stereo and adjustable suspension components along with a rear differential and 16″ alloy wheels sourced from a later Jaguar model, and the car is also equipped with air conditioning, a wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, and Smiths gauges. The car was acquired by the seller in 2018, and maintenance since 2020 included service of the fuel system, replacement of the battery, and an oil change.
The bodywork was refinished in dark blue during prior ownership. Equipment includes a dual mirrors, chrome bumpers with overriders, and polished stainless-steel exhaust tips.
Alloy 16″ wheels from a later Jaguar model are fitted with 225/55 Yokohama S.drive tires that were mounted in 2010. The car is equipped with inboard rear disc brakes, and the suspension is modified with adjustable GAZ shocks with adjustable-perch rear coilover springs.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in blue upholstery, along with matching door panels and a black dashboard. Equipment includes air conditioning, a wooden shift knob, and a Bluetooth-capable Kenwood CD stereo hooked to an aftermarket amplifier and speakers. The air-conditioning system was converted to R134a refrigerant, and the rear seat has been replaced by an enclosure containing audio components and the ECU.
The wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instruments including a 160-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer, and ancillary gauges are mounted in a central panel. The odometer shows 34k miles.
The fuel-injected 5.3-liter V12 was sourced from a later Jaguar model and installed in 2012. Service prior to the installation included pressure-testing, repairing, and machining the heads, performing a valve job, and replacing seals, gaskets, fuel-injection hoses, and ignition components. The fuel tank and other fuel system components were replaced in October 2020, and a replacement battery was installed in March 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission paired with a differential sourced from a later Jaguar model and equipped with a 2.88:1 final-drive ratio.
