MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1972 Jaguar
XK-E Series III 2+2. The Jagaur XK-E's have become remarkable
collector items over the years. The first year of the third series,
this car was built on December 17, 1971 in Coventry, England. This
example is one of only5,143 Jaguar models sold in the US during
1972, during that time Jaguar had 301 dealers nationwide! This
handsome Jaguar's paint and trim are in overall excellent order,
with some slight blemishes upon close inspection. Overall, the
car's bodywork is straight with nice chrome, the engine bay is
quite tidy, the battery appears newer and the bumpers are in
excellent order. This big cat rolls on Michelin whitewall radials,
size 205/70R14 at all four corners. Each tire surrounds a factory
wire wheel with knock offs. The tires are in very good order while
the chrome wire knock off wheels are in good shape. Under the
forward-hinged front end (hood, fenders, headlights and front
bumper), is the original 5.3L SOHC V-12 engine with four
Zenith-Stromberg 175CD2SE carburetors and mated to the original
optional Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission. The engine
was originally developed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Driver
convenience features include air-conditioning, power steering and
power disc brakes. Inside, the dark blue interior is in overall
great condition. The Connolly bucket seats are in very good
condition, as is the matching Wilton wool carpeting. The headliner
is in similar shape while the three-spoke steering wheel looks
ready to cruise. The instrument panel, with its array of rocker
switches and gauges, is in very good order, as are the inner door
panels. The horn is inoperable. Completing the interior are the
gearshift lever, the long, silver parking brake lever and a
aftermarket AM/FM stereo with CD player. The E-Type Series 3 was
introduced in 1971. The short wheelbase FHC body style was
discontinued, with the Series 3 available only as a convertible and
2+2 coup�. The newly used longer wheelbase now offered
significantly more room in all directions. The Series 3 is easily
identifiable by the large cross-slatted front grille, flared wheel
arches, wider tires, four exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that
proclaims it to be a V-12. On its release in March 1961,Enzo
Ferraricalled it "the most beautiful car ever made."In 2004,Sports
Car Internationalmagazine placed the E-Type at number one on their
list ofTop Sports Cars of the 1960s.In March 2008, the Jaguar
E-Type ranked first inThe Daily Telegraphonline list of the World's
"100 most beautiful cars" of all time. Outside automotive circles,
the E-type received prominent placement inDiabolikcomic
series,Austin Powersfilm series and the television series"Mad Men."
Competition to this Jaguar in 1972 included the Aston Martin V-8,
BMW's 3.0 CS, Chevrolet's Corvette, De Tomaso's Pantera, Jensen's
Interceptor III, Mercedes-Benz's 450 SLC and Porsche's 911.
