IT'S ALIVE! AUTOMOTIVE is very proud to present this exceptional
1974 Jaguar Series III V12 Open Two Seater in the factory correct
color combination of Pale Primrose Yellow over a Cinnamon leather
interior and Black convertible top. IT'S ALIVE! is representing
this gorgeous V12 E-type on behalf of one of our best customers who
has meticulously maintained this example for nearly 25 years! Per
the accompanying Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate, this
example was completed at the Coventry works on May 22nd 1974;
exactly three weeks before the final E-type would be completed on
June 12th, 1974. A factory equipped 4-speed manual transmission
from new, the ownership history is documented back to November 1987
where a previous title copy lists the mileage at 31,184. In 1998
the current owner oversaw a cosmetic restoration comprising of a
bare metal respray during which all the trim, glass and rubber was
removed and replaced as necessary. The Cinnamon leather interior
was completely retrimmed and a new Black convertible top was
fitted. The work was completed to such a high standard that in 2002
the Series III OTS scored a 9.994/10 and a 9.995/10 in 2003 at the
local Jaguar Clubs North America (JNCA) events.
Jaguar specialist Jon Rhodes of Jons Jags performed a thorough
inspection of the Series III in August 2013, confirmed the 38,863
miles (at the time) as original. Today the Series III displays
40,109 original miles, a testament to the owner's curated level of
care for the past two and half decades. Our in-house specialists at
IT'S ALIVE! have been maintaining this Series III since 2018
performing routine maintenance and repairs as needed, ensuring this
Jaguar is roadworthy at a moments notice. We are extremely
privileged to represent one of the best Series III roadsters in the
Country. If you are the next caretaker of this classic then give us
