1971 JAGUAR E-TYPE

The Series 3 was the final iteration of the E-type. The car had become longer and wider than the previous Series 1 and 2 models, and could really be considered a grand tourer rather than a sports car. As well as the car becoming bigger, the six-cylinder XK engine was replaced by a much larger capacity 5.3 litre V12 which suited the grand tourer character far better.

This particular Series 3 coupe is something of a wolf in E-type Series 3 clothing. Finished in opalescent silver-grey with black leather trim, it was restored in the late 1990s by XK Engineering, the history file complete with invoices as well as photographs of the work carried out. At the same time the car was fitted with a Rob Beere Racing 7.3 V12 engine, featuring Cosworth forged pistons and Weber carburettors it has a dyno report showing nearly 550 horsepower and 530 newton metres of torque.

The car will be sold to its new owner with 12 months warranty and roadside assistance.
