A collector’s dream!
Arguably the most well recognized sports car of its era, the E-type had a perfect combination of curvaceous lines, high-performance and was priced economically to boot. That helped establish it as an instant hit and its popularity has only grown stronger. The evolution of the E-Type is well documented. The initial 3.8-liter model had a lack of footwell space, uncomfortable seats, massive brake fade and an engine prone to overheating – yet it was loved. Ten years and numerous improvements later, Jaguar launched a V12 engine in its E-Type, transforming it with an infusion of torque and horsepower. Along with the engine, other more plush modifications were made, including power steering and power brakes. The result was a very fine and quite sophisticated, grand touring car.
The 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 2+2 Coupe featured here is finished in stunning Regency Red with a beautifully preserved original Biscuit leather interior. This magnificent motorcar has been driven just 3,496 miles from new and still retains almost all of its original paint, original leather interior, tires, glass and chrome. This is a true time capsule and is certainly one of the lowest mile, most original 1973 E-Type Series III Coupes available on the market today. Accompanying this Series III is its Jaguar Heritage Certificate, original window sticker, service passport, owner’s manual, service records, inspection stickers and much more.
