1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster

KEY FACTS This Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 Roadster is a charismatic and iconic classic British open-top grand tourer, which benefits from a previous extensive rebuild. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.3-litre V12, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. A US-market example, this E-Type was imported into the UK in November 2019, and has recently been acquired by its current owner. The seller notes that the car was converted to right-hand drive in around 2020 as part of an extensive rebuild and repaint, and has since benefitted from more than £23,000 of documented maintenance and improvement works between 2020 and 2026. The odometer indicates 70,936 miles, though this is not warranted. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES This E-Type Series 3 is finished in a timeless shade of white with a contrasting black soft-top roof, over a Hotspur Red leather-trimmed interior, featuring a contrasting black dashboard, Heritage Red carpet, and chrome trim highlights. It rides on a set of 15-inch chrome cross-spoke wire wheels with two-spoke knock-offs, fitted with Radar Dimax Classic tyres. Equipment includes a black leather-trimmed three-spoke steering wheel, Smiths gauges, a Kienzle analogue clock, dashboard rocker switches, a Motorola push-button radio, and heater and ventilation controls. The car has benefitted from an electronic ignition system and an upgraded power steering rack. The car will be supplied with its V5C, photos of the repaint, a Jaguar Heritage Trust production record certificate, and a collection of service invoices covering maintenance carried out in 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2026, totalling more than £23,000. One ignition key is included. CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.
