UD 1S 22983 was completed June 12, 1973 and dispatched on the 6th
of August - distributed through British Leyland Motors, New York in
Dark Blue paint over French Blue leather upholstery, as verified by
Jaguar Heritage Trust. In addition to its livery, this striking
E-Type came ideally optioned and fully equipped with air
conditioning, British Leyland AM/FM radio, leather seating, manual
transmission, along with a factory hardtop that was later
color-matched.
Upon his acquisition in 1988 at 31,500 miles, the Roadster's
previous long-term caretaker showed and displayed the vehicle at a
number of events early on, as noted by awarded plaques. It was
subsequently driven on occasion, serviced as needed, and eventually
resided to longer bouts of garage storage. A binder of proceeding
invoices, records and receipts from 1988-Present accompany. With
just 38,000 miles currently on the odometer, UD1S22983 was
uncovered from its resting in 2020 and brought to our facility here
in Houston, TX, where it was assessed before receiving an extensive
detail and transfer of ownership to enthusiast care in Coral
Gables, Florida.
This Series III would then receive a mechanical recommission and
tune-up, including all fluids, filters and consumable items
addressed. Followed by cabin reupholstery, soft top and boot cover,
new chrome wheels, and early slim bumpers, tires/tubes, light
lenes, stainless exhaust, uprated radiator and cooling fans, and
more.
The exterior's glossy paint appears largely original - with
exception to a lightly repainted front bonnet. Very thin and
consistent paint meter readings support. Importantly, a Dark Blue
color-matched hardtop offers multiple top variations and a highly
desired factory option.
Its interior cabin comes well equipped with an original British
Leyland radio, factory air conditioning, manual transmission, and
striking colors. Motolita steering wheel and Amco shift knob are
fitted.
UD1S22983 retains its original engine, number 7S12333LB. The
Roadster starts, runs and drives with consistent engine compression
across all twelve cylinders.
The SIII's undercarriage remains very solid and intact, with
excellent floors displaying original spot welds, drain holes and
seams. It appears preventative undercoating was applied across the
bottom and into the wheel wells.
Offered for worldwide purchase and delivery from our Houston, Texas
showroom, this notably honest, highly equipped, complete, and
well-preserved Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 OTS is one of the
finest examples of the marque that we have offered.
