⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

The ultimate V12 grand tourer, blending iconic style with refinement.

The Jaguar E-Type Series 3 represents the final, most refined evolution of a motoring icon. Transitioning from a raw sports car to a sophisticated grand tourer, the Series 3 introduced the legendary 5.3-litre V12 engine, delivering turbine-smooth power and effortless high-speed cruising. With its flared wheel arches, wider stance, and signature cross-slatted grille, it remains a towering symbol of British automotive prestige and elegance.

The Series 3 successfully countered the diminishing power of earlier models by introducing a formidable V12 powerplant. Built on a lengthened chassis with a revised suspension, vented disc brakes, and power-assisted steering, this evolution delivered vastly improved roadholding and a more composed ride. Inside, the cabin benefited from plusher furnishings and increased space, cementing its status as a superior cruiser. While maintaining its legendary styling, this final iteration of the E-Type offered significantly greater reliability and a level of mechanical refinement previously unseen in the model.

Finished in red with a black interior and a manual gearbox, this home market 1973 Series 3 Roadster has been cherished by just three owners from new. Held by its current owner for just shy of 22.5 years, the car has benefited from an investment exceeding £40,000 during their tenure.

Smartly presented E-Type is backed by an exemplary maintenance history, plus it is accompanied by its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, original owner’s handbook, two sets of keys and was last serviced in December 2024.

While technically MOT and road tax exempt, it carries the added reassurance of a current MOT valid until December 2026.
