Vehicle Description
West Coast Classics are proud to present an exceptional and very
rare and virtually completely original apart from one older repaint
on a barn-fresh (garage really!) older restoration find! A rust
free example of this coveted Series III 1972 Jaguar XKE 2+2 V12
coupe with the very desirable 4 speed manual transmission and its
original matching #'s (7S5936LA) 5.4L V12 engine in a most striking
original 'Old English White' color with a 'Berry Red' leather
interior and carpets and factory air conditioning and power
steering! This beauty also boasts five original chrome wire wheels,
including its original spare in the trunk!The Series III E-Type XKE
Jaguar was built from late 1971-74 and was a continuation of its
legendary 60's sports cars but now with a new V12 engine! To
accommodate the larger powerplant, Jaguar used the 9" longer
wheelbase previously used for the Series I and II 2+2 coupes. Body
modifications also included a wider track with wider tires mounted
on slotted wheels with disc wheel covers or optional wire wheels.
These cars were fast with 0-60mph recorded in 7.5 seconds and a
15.4 second quarter mile!This particular car has a thick file of
extensive service records showing that at no time was any expense
spared on this vehicle's preventive maintenance and its original
matching #'s 5.4L V12 engine runs as smooth as silk and the
transmission shifts smoothly through all the gears. The car has no
rust with the floor boards and all the typical rust-prone areas
very solid! The car shows no signs of any accidents of any kind and
has a very straight body.The thick file of recent service history
shows a total front end engine rebuild has been completed, new
