Vehicle Description
This 1973 Jaguar E-Type coupe is a meticulously maintained example
that shows in very good condition mechanically and cosmetically.
The 5.3-liter V12 engine is clean and very nicely detailed with
mostly correct finishes, decals and hardware. Receipts totaling in
excess of $30,000 within the last four years demonstrate the length
the past owner took to ensure it is a strong-running and
well-sorted car. An engine-out service included an external reseal,
valve adjustment, rebuilt carburetors, new water pump, machined and
resealed exhaust manifolds, new thermostats, all new hoses, belts,
and rebuilt starter and alternator. At the same time, the front
suspension was rebuilt, the steering rack replaced, power steering
pump rebuilt, radiator replaced and new hardware and mountings
fitted upon reassembly. Receipts also show fresh brake calipers,
brake master cylinder and wheel bearings, as well as new front
shocks and other details. The Signal Red exterior is complemented
with Biscuit Tan upholstery in factory-correct materials. The dash
and gauges are original and in very good condition, including the
original Kienzle clock. A wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel has
been added, and the original radio is still in place in the
console. This car is equipped with all three of the available
factory options that Jaguar offered 1973: chrome wire wheels, air
conditioning and an automatic transmission. With great-quality
cosmetics and extensive service history, this E-Type 2+2 is an
excellent example to enjoy and drive. The combination of the silky
smooth V12, automatic transmission and power steering make it a
fantastic grand touring car, with ample room for luggage and even
an occasional extra passenger. It is a well-sorted, cosmetically
attractive example.
