THE CAR OFFERED

According to the accompanying JDHT Certificate, this manual-equipped E-Type Series III V12 roadster was completed in January 1974 and dispatched to British Leyland, Canada the following March. While the early history is not recorded, documents on file show it has been in the care of the consignor since approximately 1993, where it was subsequently treated to a repaint from its original dark blue to its current, factory-offered shade of Regency Red.

Correspondence and records show the interior was also restored in its original Biscuit color, with new body weatherstripping and gaskets fitted. Additionally, the car got new hubs and chrome knock-off wheels in 2005.

Production records verify this car retains its original, numbers-matching engine, which is authentically detailed and backed by a 4-speed manual gearbox, as it left the Browns Lane factory.

With its torque-laden V12 and more spacious accommodations, the Series III is a favorite among drivers. This car's factory air conditioning and restored removable hardtop make it an excellent choice for touring events in all manner of conditions. Following a period of storage, light recommissioning has been undertaken to awaken it, and additional attention may be required prior to longer drives.

Looking splendid in its period-correct Regency Red over Biscuit color-combination, this end-of-the-run E-Type is delightfully 1970s, and offers silky-smooth V12 open-top cruising in style.
