for a cozy cat, one you can wrap yourself up in and take on a
spirited sprint? MotoeXotica Classic Cars has the scratch for your
feline itch with this 1973 Jaguar XK-E Series III Roadster. It is
one of only 7,990 Jaguar XK-E roadsters made between 1971 and 1975.
This incredible cat has undergone an extensive nut and bolt
restoration from top to bottom and is ready to win the next Jaguar
car show! Dressed in Regency Red, this car's paint and trim are in
overall excellent condition. The bodywork is straight and solid,
the engine bay is extremely tidy, the battery appears new and the
chrome bumpers with bumper guards are in very good order. The
engine compartment is highly detailed and so is the complex 4
coiled rear end. Please make sure you view the photos of the
undercarriage to appreciate! This cat rolls on Dunlop Elite 70
whitewall radials, size FR 70-15 at all four corners. Each tire is
mounted to a Jaguar knock-off wire wheel. The tires and wheels are
all in very good condition. Under the large, tilt-forward bonnet
and front fenders is the car's 5.3L V-12 engine with four
Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. Backing this engine is the original
four-speed manual transmission and a 3.54:1 rear end. Driver
convenience features include standard power steering, power
four-wheel disc brakes and adjustable steering column. Inside, the
Tan Connolly Leather bucket seats are in excellent condition. The
matching Wilton Wool Carpeting is in very good condition. The
factory three-spoke steering wheel is in great shape. The padded
instrument panel, with its Smith gauges, is in very good order, as
are the inner door panels. The center console and shift lever with
its burled wood knob, are in a similar very fine order. Completing
the interior is a factory AM/FM stereo with cassette deck. The
exterior finish is in excellent shape with the paint having a high
degree of finish and luster. A high end ceramic coat finish was
recently professionally applied and the cloth and boot are also in
excellent condition without known flaws. The E-Type Series III was
introduced in 1971, with a new 5.3L Jaguar V-12 engine, uprated
brakes and standard power steering. Optionally, an automatic
transmission, wire wheels and air-conditioning were available. The
brand-new V-12 engine was originally developed for the 24 Hours of
Le Mans. It was equipped with four Zenith carburetors. The final
engine was claimed to produce 272 horsepower, more torque, and a
0-60 mph acceleration of less than seven seconds. The short
wheelbase fixed-head coupe body style was discontinued, with the
Series III available only as a convertible and 2+2 coup�. The newly
used longer wheelbase now offered significantly more room in all
directions. The Series III 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 the US market were fitted with large projecting
rubber bumper over-riders (in 1973 these were on front, in 1974
both front and rear) to meet local five mph impact regulations, but
those on European models were considerably smaller. US models also
have side indicator repeats on the front wings. When leaving the
factory, the V-12 open two-seater and V-12 2+2 originally fitted
Dunlop E70VR - 15-inch tires on 15 � 6K wire or solid wheels.
