After the brilliant first-series Jaguar E-Type debuted at Geneva in
1961 with inline six-cylinder power, the car's basic design
progressively matured through 1971 with a switch to the smoother,
turbine-like V-12. Known as Series III cars and offered through
1974, they also featured brawnier cosmetics, a slightly wider track
and longer wheelbase. With a more accommodating cockpit, the
interior was also entirely new. Power brakes and steering, a 272
horsepower V-12, and a fully synchronized four-speed manual
gearbox, the final-series cars are very capable and refined Grand
Touring machines, while also retaining the sensuous lines of their
predecessors. Today they rightly continue to captivate legions of
collectors and marque enthusiasts and are ever growing in
popularity.
According to Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, UE1S25594 was built on
April 8, 1974 and Distributed on the 20th of May 1974 through
British Leyland Motors in White over Dark Blue upholstery as
displayed today. By the mid-2000s, the Roadster was residing in
Phoenix, Arizona where it was acquired by a gentleman in Ohio, who
commissioned the selling dealer and Jaguar specialist to complete a
cosmetic and mechanical freshening. Work included an entirely new
leather cabin and matching canvas top, along with associated foam,
padding and rubbers throughout the body, new trunk appointments,
chrome wire wheels and period correct "white line" tires, R&R
cooling + heater systems, brakes, suspension and wheel components,
as well as addressing the electrical and engine intake systems. A
year prior to the sale in 2004, the engine, power steering and air
conditioning were rebuilt by Sports Car Service Center of Tempe,
Arizona. All servicing, parts and maintenance records from that
time and thereafter are filed in the vehicles accompanying
dossier.
In a proper nautical livery, this V12 Series III Roadster is among
the late examples of this famous British marquee produced. The
overall appearance of the car presents as a nicely mellowed
maintained driver, showing 80,600 recorded miles and excellent road
manners. The cabin is conveniently equipped with COLD factory air
conditioning, period Becker Europa MU radio and 4-speed manual
transmission. Chrome wire wheels complete the overall appearance,
with matching spare, Thor hammer and brass spanner residing in the
trunk. Additionally, the Roadster is complete with all of its
original owner's manuals, books and pamphlets in vinyl pouch -
these include USA Spec Operating, Maintenance and Service Handbook,
Wiring Diagram, Lubrication and Routine Maintenance charts, Chrome
Plate Maintenance, Starting Procedure, Safety Belt and Steering
Column cards, Quaker State Oil brochure, as well as all of the
Becker Europa's Operating Instructions, Wiring diagram, Warrant
Ticket and Service Center booklets.
This fantastic, last-model-year production XKE roadster is now
available for immediate inspection, purchase and world-wide
delivery from our Houston, Texas showroom. Be sure to ask about
