made between 1971 and 1975 Original 5.3L SOHC V-12 engine with quad
Zenith-Stromberg carburetors Original Borg-Warner three-speed
automatic transmission Eye-catching Tuxedo Black exterior with
Cinnamon interior Air-conditioning, power steering and power disc
brakes Jaguar wire wheels New tires in June 2018 and fresh service
in August 2018 Conventional wisdom suggests you should avoid black
cats but, in this case, you should come by MotoeXotica Classic Cars
to pet this one and perhaps you'll want to take it home. We're
pleased to present this 1973 Jaguar XK-E Series III 2+2. This
particular Jaguar XK-E has gone through quite a transformation
since it was new. It left the Jaguar factory in Coventry, England
with a Green Sand exterior and a tan leather interior. Sometime
between 2004 and today, the car's been repainted and reupholstered.
It is now Tuxedo Black with a Cinnamon interior, making it very
distinctive. The car's paint and trim are in overall excellent
order, its bodywork is straight and solid, the cargo area is
spotless and the chrome bumpers with their overriders are in
brilliant shape. This Jag rolls on Nexen radials, size 205/70R15 at
all four corners. Each tire is wrapped around factory wire wheels.
The tires are new as of June 2018 while the wheels are in
satisfactory order. Under the forward-hinged front clip is Jaguar's
5.3L SOHC V-12 engine with four Zenith-Stromberg carburetors.
Backing up this original engine is an original Borg-Warner
three-speed automatic transmission. Driver convenience features
include air-conditioning, power steering and power disc brakes.
This Jag received a fresh service in August 2018. Inside, the car's
distinctive Cinnamon interior provides an effective combination
with the exterior that really stands out. The leather seats look
fantastic, the carpet is in satisfactory order, as is the
headliner. The instrument panel is in excellent condition while the
inner door panels are in very good order. The center console and
shift lever are in similar shape to the inner door panels. A
Pioneer AM/FM stereo with CD player rounds out this car's interior.
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. Cars for theUSmarket were
fitted with large projecting rubber bumper over-riders in 1973
these were on front to meetlocal five mph impact regulations. US
models also had side indicator repeats on the front wings. 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 1973
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. If you're interested in checking out this
