The Jaguar E-Type, originally a purist sports car morphed into a luxurious, powerful GT with the V-12-powered 1971-1974 Series 3’s. The Fixed-Head Coupe didn't return in this generation, and the open two seater was now based on the longer 2+2 wheelbase, which allowed for power steering and its first optional automatic gearbox. Distinguishing features of the final series were the E-type's first engine intake grille and the fender flares over 15-inch wheels. The continuing popularity of the E-type was evident in the 72,507 examples built between 1961 and 1974.
Car was treated to a 100% mechanical and cosmetic restoration. Strong #2 condition
It has a rebuilt V12 matching numbers engine with a rebuilt 4-speed transmission. The independent suspension has been rebuilt as well. New correct spoke wheels with new premium radials and a complete new interior and convertible top. The factory a/c blows cold. Comes with a photo documentation of the restoration. Drives ultra-smooth and solid on the road. A terrific example that is an appreciating classic.
