⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

A magnificent V12 grand tourer that combines effortless performance with one of the most iconic automotive designs ever created.

The Jaguar E-Type Series 3 marked the final chapter in the evolution of one of Britain’s most celebrated sports cars. Introduced in 1971, the Series 3 brought a new level of refinement and performance, blending the E-Type’s iconic styling with the comfort and capability expected of a true grand tourer.

Distinctive visual updates included wider wheel arches, a broader track, an enlarged front grille, and quad exhaust outlets - subtle enhancements that reflected the car’s increased presence and performance. Inside, the cabin benefited from improved comfort and thoughtful refinements, making long-distance touring more enjoyable than ever.

This example comes to market following an incredible ~35 years of ownership. On the outside, it may look like a standard Series 3 Roadster, but the differences become apparent the moment it fires into life and the bonnet is lifted. Beneath sits a high-performance, big-valve 6.0-litre engine built by Rob Beere Racing, paired with a five-speed Medatronics gearbox and featuring mapped ignition timing with MSD 6A digital ignition control.

Peter, the owner, has invested a considerable amount of time, money and dedication into making this example as good as it could possibly be, whilst retaining the E-Type’s timeless good looks.
