Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to offer this sleek
Pale Primrose Yellow 1973 Jaguar E-Type for sale. Considered by
many to be one of the most beautiful-looking automobiles, as well
as one of the top sports cars of the 1960's, the E-Type continues
to be a bucket list car for quite a few folks. This E-Type comes
with a Jaguar-Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate (Production Record
Trace Certificate number 48048) documenting the information from
the original factory records for chassis number UD 1S 22684 BW.
According to its current owner, it was with its previous owner for
42 years, and had logged only about 49K total miles prior to his
acquiring it. The odometer is currently reading 52K miles, so it's
only been driven about 3K miles in the last 5 years. Recent updates
to this XKE include installing a new high output alternator, having
the A/C serviced and converted to R134a (including a new
compressor, reservoir dryer and expansion valve), plus, a new
heater valve assembly (with new hoses and clamps); newly rebuilt
power steering rack, upper and lower control arm bushings, new
starter, and new horns. The previous owner replaced brake hoses and
rebuilt the transmission and power steering pump, along with
replacing the tie rod ends, front shocks, and and ball joints. Even
the exhaust has been upgraded to a stainless steel system,
featuring quad exhaust outlets, which provides for a really sweet
aural experience. The Pale Primrose Yellow exterior on this one
nicely harmonizes with its recently reupholstered black leather
seats and center armrest, creating a timeless aesthetic that
epitomizes the luxury and refinement synonymous with the Jaguar
brand. Under the hood lies a potent 5.7L V12 engine, which delivers
a seamless blend of power and performance, while emitting that
classic dual cam Jaguar V12 cylinder sound. The 3-speed automatic
shifts like butter, and provides an authentic driving experience
that's sure to exhilarate and impress. This unit comes equipped
with a vintage style AM/FM radio with Lightning cable connectivity,
providing you with a variety of entertainment options while keeping
the vintage appeal intact. Its new manual convertible top and new
tonneau cover allows you to effortlessly transition from a closed
cabin to open-air driving, just right for those sunny days when you
want to feel the breeze in your hair, and the new sun visors will
help keep the sun out of your eyes. Safety is paramount and this
classic vehicle comes with seatbelts and 4-wheel disc brakes,
ensuring you and your passenger's safety while on the road. The
radial tires provide stability and superior handling, offering a
smooth and comfortable ride. Adding to its charm are the wire
wheels, a cherished feature that further enhances its nostalgic
appeal (plus, the original set of road tools, including jack, lead
hammer and hub knock-off tool are included). Also included are
services records, manuals, Registry Certificate, and sales
literature. This 1973 Jaguar E-Type is a testament to a bygone era
of motoring, where craftsmanship, style, and performance were
thoughtfully harmonized. Experience the allure and sophistication
of this classic Jaguar E-Type, and let its timeless elegance
transport you back to the golden era of motoring - call or email
