THE CAR OFFERED

According to the accompanying JDHT Certificate, this automatic-equipped E-Type Series III V12 roadster was completed in April 1972. While the early history is not recorded, it was lovingly restored and subsequently treated to a repaint from its original Primrose Yellow with to its current, factory-offered shade of Black.

Correspondence and records show the interior was also restored not in its original Cinnamon color but with Red hides. Also fitted with new body weatherstripping and gaskets. The Jaguar seemingly underwent this transformation in roughly 2010.

Production records verify this car retains its original, numbers-matching engine, which is authentically detailed and backed by a 3-speed automatic 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 striking colors and automatic gearbox 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 and sharp Black over Red color-combination, this end-of-the-run E-Type is delightfully 1970s, and offers silky-smooth V12 open-top cruising in style.
