1973 JAGUAR E-TYPE 2+2 COUPE SERIES III
The Jaguar E-Type, or the Jaguar XK-E for the North American
market, is a British sports car that was manufactured by Jaguar
Cars Ltd between 1961 and 1975. Its combination of beauty, high
performance, and competitive pricing established the model as an
icon of the motoring world. The E-Type's claimed 150 mph (241 km/h)
top speed, sub-7-second 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration, unitary
construction, disc brakes, rack-and-pinion steering, and
independent front and rear suspension distinguished the car and
spurred industry-wide changes. The E-Type was based on Jaguar's
D-Type racing car , which had won the 24 Hours of Le Mans three
consecutive years beginning 1955, and employed what was, for the
early 1960s, a novel racing design principle, with a front subframe
carrying the engine, front suspension and front bodywork bolted
directly to the body tub. No ladder frame chassis, as was common at
the time, was needed and as such the first cars weighed only 1315
kg (2900 lb).
Series 3 (1971-75)
The E-Type Series 3 was introduced in 1971, with a new 5.3 L Jaguar
V12 engine, uprated brakes and standard power steering. Optionally
an automatic transmission, wire wheels and air conditioning were
available. The LeMans-proven V12 was equipped with four Zenith
carburettors, and as introduced produced a claimed 203 kW (272 hp),
more torque, and a 0-60 mph acceleration of less than seven
seconds. The short wheelbase FHC body style was discontinued, with
the Series 3 available only as a convertible and 2+2 coupe.
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 tyres, four
exhaust tips and a badge on the rear that proclaims it to be a
V12.
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 5 mph (8 km/h) impact regulations, but
those on European models were considerably smaller. US models also
have side indicator repeats on the front wings. There were also a
very limited number of six-cylinder Series 3 E-Types built. These
were featured in the initial sales procedure but the lack of demand
stopped their production. The V12 Open Two Seater and V12 2+2 were
factory fitted with Dunlop E70VR - 15-inch tyres on 15 � 6K wire or
solid wheels.
