*V12 Series III E-Type
*One owner car
*Good condition

The Jaguar E-Type is one of the company's most iconic cars, and was famously labelled by Enzo Ferrari as "one of the most beautiful cars ever made". Production of the E-Type spanned 14 years from 1961 to 1975 in Series I, Series II and Series III format. The Series III model was first introduced in 1971, and featured an all-new 5.3 litre V12 engine that replaced the 4.2 litre straight-six in the Series II. Other improves for the Series III included uprated brakes and power steering, with options added for wire wheels, air conditioning and an automatic transmission.

This 1974 example we are told, is a one owner E-Type which is exceptionally rare to find for a car of this era. Presented in Azure blue with black interior, the car is in a fair to good, well used condition and is currently on its second engine after an irreparable issue with its original. We are told it's running and driving well, however the engine bay is relatively tatty and could do with smartening up. This example is also fitted with the optional automatic transmission. The vendor states the roof and interior are in good condition, as is the bodywork. This is an honest example of one of the most famous Jaguars the company ever produced.
