1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12
The Jaguar E-Type Series 3 is the ugly duckling of the E-Type family as well as the swansong of the legendary car. It was produced between 1971 and 1975 and came with further body modifications that make it less desirable today than an early S1 example. The S3 you see here was restored and subtly upgraded by E-Type UK, one of the top Jaguar E-Type specialists in the world.
Jaguar introduced the third series of the E-Type in 1971. The most notable feature was its brand-new twelve-cylinder engine. Greatly increasing the available power and torque over earlier straight-six E-Types, the V-12 more than compensated for power decreases due to stricter emissions control in the Series 2 E-Types. Exterior changes consisted of flared wheel arches to fit the new suspension and wider track, along with a cross-slated front grille. Jaguar only produced the Series 3 E-Type in two styles, the 2+2 coupe and the roadster, dropping the two-seater fixed head coupe. In addition, the roadster adopted the longer wheelbase of the 2+2, making for a larger, more comfortable cabin.
Expertly engineered at E-Type UK, this V12 E-type is defined by bespoke. The exterior is tastefully refined, with a unique cabin alive with modern technologies and Engine all-alloy, ohc 5343cc V12, with four Stromberg 175 carbs and electronic ignition, combined with performance engineering amplifying the timeless thrill of one of the greatest British sports cars ever built.
INTERIOR:
- Custom seats with heated elements
- Aluminium centre console
- Engine start button
- Piano black dash
- Remote central locking
Billed by many as one of the most beautiful cars ever made and oozing sensuality, the two-seat Jaguar E-Type Series 3 belonged to Jaguar’s glory days when it was able to blaze new styling paths and set trends for others to follow.
