Although early history is unknown, this V12 Roadster was
manufactured on March 31, 1972 and delivered to New York. Having
remained in the Northeast from new, it was acquired by a collector
in 1996 who immediately commissioned a no expense spared
restoration. A correct spec V12 was fitted and over $100,000 was
spent to bring this V12 E-Type into concours condition. After 19
years, this collector sold the E-Type to another collector and
long-time friend and client of Autosport Designs in Virginia.
While cosmetically in excellent condition throughout, the E-type
went through a complete restoration and refreshening in excess of
$150,000.
Jaguar specialists White Post Restorations in Virginia along with
Classic Jaguar in Texas uprated and stroked the V12 to 7.0 Liters.
Further enhancements include mild porting of heads and custom valve
job, 10:1 compression JE pistons, Jenvey EFI system, Jaguar factory
fuel injection fast road cams, Stainless sport exhaust system,
custom headers, Fosseway drilled front brakes and a HP radiator.
All engine mechanicals have been completely gone through,
absolutely no expense was spared to make this an uprated, fast and
comfortable V12 roadster. The engine was Dyno tested at 462bhp at
4,850 rpm and 523 ft. lbs. of torque with a 6,200 rpm redline.
Taken on trade only a few years ago by Autosport Designs, this Jag
was sold to another long time client and friend of ours. During
this ownership, it has been serviced regularly by us and has
received concours detailing to bring to its best condition ever, it
has since been used for periodic concours showing while still being
used for seasonal use and enjoyment
This E-type is accompanied by all its ownership, restoration and
service histories as well as its owners manual, spare wheel and
tool kit.
As one of the last of the breed, this Series III E-Type presents in
superb condition in all areas, cosmetically, mechanically and
structurally. With its upgraded engine, this E-Type is a very
special example of a Series III V12 that is absolutely exceptional
in ever respect.
