The last, Series 3 incarnation of the E-type had seen the model go from sports car to grand tourer, and with its V12 engine was capable of effortless continent crossing. This later manual gearbox Series 3 Roadster enjoyed much specialist re-commissioning work between September 2016 and 2020 (bill for £4,439 on file) while work in 2015 cost £11,000. Again, the bill is on file. In solid mid-blue, the paint is very presentable and the bodywork shows good panel fit. The engine bay is clean. This car's interior is in light tan with recent blue carpets and is smart. Seat facings have lightly mellowed but appear wear-free while the dashboard and door cards, along with the hood, are presentable.

Saleroom notices
We are pleased to advise that this E-Type is a genuine UK RHD Roadster model, the 900th model that rolled off the factory line in Coventry. The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Certificate on file confirms the car retains its original engine and gearbox. Whilst in the enthusiast vendors ownership the E-Type has benefited from a front end respray and replaced chrome fittings, plus the carburettors have been setup and tuned with the engine now benefiting from electronic ignition.
