1972 Jaguar E-type Series III V12 Roadster
Please

MotorCarTrader.com is thrilled to present this special, early model 1972 Jaguar E-type Series III V12 Roadster. This car was built on March 27 of 1972. This was the 274th Jaguar E-type Series III OTS (Open Two Seater) LHD car produced. This great Jaguar was dispatched on April 14 of 1972. The original colors of this great car are Signal red with Black interior. This is a matching numbers car. We sold this car in 2001 and recently acquired back from the owner who had the car since 2001 (we sold this car to him in 2001). He placed about 1,500 miles on the car since (from October 2001 to November 2013). Prior to his ownership (pre 2001), the car was in a large collection until our initial purchase in 2001.
This truly is one of the nicer upper level driver V12 Roadsters you will find anywhere. As we understand, it was restored on an excellent original car prior to our initial ownership in 2001 and driven sparingly since. The previous owner was unable to drive this car and it sat for about a year before we purchased the car back in the fall of 2013. Below are some of the work we did to the car and work done by a Jaguar V12 specialist. Also, more details on this truly excellent Jaguar E-type Roadster:
A new complete stainless steel exhaust system installed with a new quad fantail (resonator) in chrome.
New electronic ignition installed with new champion plugs, new coil, new rotor, new ignition pick up and new cap.
Fuel drained and Stromberg carburetors completely rebuilt with new floats and carb rebuilt kits.
New (original type) Electronic Fuel pump installed.
Cooling system drained. New water tank installed and fresh coolant added.
New thermostat installed.
New rebuilt AC compressor installed with new hoses.
FREON Level Charged and checked for leaks. Blows cold AC.
New Clutch master cylinder installed and system bled.
New transmission mount installed.
Koni Shocks installed.
Underside, floors, rear end and pan completely degreased before new SS exhaust install. The underside was then, cleaned, detailed and re-sprayed (pictures available before and after).
All switches, gauges and wiring gone through.
New rubber floor mats.
Valve Cover gaskets replaced as well as the Cam Towers resealed to prevent oil leaking on manifolds and exhaust (a common problem for v12 e-types which will lead to smoking). Valves were inspected at this time. New water outlet o’rings installed.
The engine is excellent with great compression of 155 to 165 psi across all 12 cylinders. A lot of V12s do not have this consistent compression across all 12 cylinders and this engine is very, very strong. The oil pressure is 60 to 70 pounds when the engine is warm.
Matching numbers car as per the Heritage Certificate and Original color combination of Signal Red with black interior.
A rare earlier model without big, ugly, black rubber bumpers.
The earlier engines and cars (like this one) had higher 9:1 compression. In October of 1972 and after, all USA and Canadian cars received low compression pistons and in September 1973 all cars had new camshafts with changed cam profiles. This car was produced before these changes.
The car runs and drives exceptional. It is very fast and tight. This E-type handles great and is a pleasure to drive. Steering is easy, the clutch feels great and the car shifts beautifully with no noise in any of the gears.
The paint on the car is excellent with a few minor chips and a few minor wear marks. We have driven this car, it is meant to be driven, a higher end drive and not a show/trailer queen. The interior is also excellent with minimal wear. The original steering wheel does show some patina and gives the car nice character. The soft top and boot are vinyl. Though they are not new, they function fine with no tears or shrinkage.
All chrome is also beautiful and looks great.
This car does not rust and the original floors are excellent from both the top side and underside.
Overall, this is a great higher end driver level Jaguar E-type V12 Roadster. It would be hard to replicate this car both cosmetically, structurally and mechanically as this car is truly right and an absolute blast to drive. Earlier model V12 roadster are becoming harder and harder to find in this condition. This is a great investment car to own and enjoy.

Since the second-gen XF's unveiling last week in an epic publicity stunt over London's Canary Wharf, the details on the new four-door have been rather scarce. That changes now, with the Jaguar revealing just about everything we could hope to know... aside from the price and fuel economy. As we covered in our original post, Jaguar has trimmed the weight for both rear- and all-wheel-drive variants by 132 pounds and 265 lbs, respectively. That means that, regardless of engine output, the two-wheel-drive model tips the scales at just 3,770 lbs, while the AWD XF slips in at 3,880. This was mainly done by way of aluminum construction – the 13th element constitutes 75 percent of the XF's structure – although ultra-high-strength steel also plays a role. Jag claims these elements not only reduce weight – which is almost perfectly distributed, with a "near" fifty-fifty ratio – but increases torsional rigidity by 28 percent. The new XF should be just as agile as the brand's namesake, thanks not only to the reduced weight and stiffer structure, but also to a new chain-driven all-wheel-drive system that's both lighter and more efficient than a traditional version. Impressive though that may be, the brand's Intelligent Driveline Dynamics system is the standout here. IDD manages the torque split, diverting power to the rear axle until it predicts, through factors like yaw rate, steering angle and lateral acceleration, when torque should be shifted to the front wheels. Moreover, the AWD system features Adaptive Surface Response, which takes the place of the old XF's winter driving mode. It monitors road conditions, modifying the behavior of the sedan's systems as needed. The second-gen sedan comes to the US in 340-horsepower and 380-hp variants – torque remains fixed at 332 pound-feet – courtesy of Jaguar Land Rover's familiar 3.0-liter, supercharged V6. The new XF's straight-line performance should be just as entertaining as it sounds, too. The rear-drive, 340-hp XF will hit 60 in 5.2 seconds, while the rest of the range can get there in 5.0. That marks a significant reduction compared to the first-gen V6 models, which used their 340 hp to sprint to 60 in a more leisurely 5.7 to 6.1 seconds. Regardless of output, the rear-drive XF will outrun both the BMW 535i and Mercedes-Benz E350 (we're still waiting on performance figures for the 329-hp E400, so Jag's RWD dominance may not last), which take 5.5 seconds and 6.5 seconds, respectively.

Jaguar has moved its Range Rover Evoque-bodied tests of the production C-X17 Concept from icy streets to the legendary Nürburgring, as work continues on the brand's first SUV.
Really, there's not a great deal of new stuff here. Based on the number plates, this is a different vehicle from the one we saw back in March, which we originally identified as the upcoming replacement for the Land Rover Freelander/LR2. The details, though, appear largely the same. The biggest distinction we can see between the March tests and this are the US-spec headlights, which add amber reflectors at their sides. Based on these shots, it does seem as if the C-X17 should be a fairly poised road vehicle, as the engineers hustle it around the 'Ring.
Of course, as soon our spies can capture images of a production-bodied C-X17, we'll be sure to pass those on to you. Until then, take a look up top for images of the Range Rover-bodied Jaguar as it tests at Germany's Nürburgring. You can also scroll down for our March images for the C-X17 mules testing on public roads.

The Jaguar F-Pace will make its full debut on September 15 at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show. But for folks like us that want every detail about the compact crossover ahead of time, Jaguar is continuing the ongoing tease. This time, the company puts the emphasis on the CUV's suspension development and includes a video to prove that it works. The F-Pace is promising to be quite a crisp handler with a double-wishbone layout for the front suspension and an integral link setup at the rear. Cornering is further enhanced by an all-wheel-drive system that features torque vectoring adapted from the F-Type. Stopping shouldn't be an issue either because the brakes are also based on the units from the sports car. In addition, the company is making the lofty promise that crossover's electric power-assisted power steering offers "greater feedback and control than hydraulic systems." Production of the crossover should get underway at the Solihull, UK, factory soon because the F-Pace hits the market in 2016. The powertrain range is expected to include the new Ingenium four-cylinder engine family and the brand's fantastic sounding, supercharged V6. All the details should be officially revealed in Frankfurt, though. Until then, give the F-Pace a listen in the clip below. This content is hosted by a third party.

JAGUAR F-PACE: THE ULTIMATE PRACTICAL JAGUAR SPORTS CAR 26/08/15 Double wishbone front and Integral Link rear suspension enable exceptional handling and ride comfort Outstanding agility delivered by F-TYPE-derived technologies including Torque Vectoring2 Electric power-assisted steering designed to give immediate response and connected feel Debuting at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September On sale in 2016 (MAHWAH, N.J.) - August 25, 2015 - Featuring sports-car derived chassis systems and evaluated on the same demanding roads as all other Jaguar vehicles, the new F-PACE will bring new levels of dynamic ability to the brand when it goes on sale in 2016, after debuting at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. The new F-PACE will reward drivers and passengers alike with a blend of agility and comfort that is unique to the small performance SUV segment; making it the most practical Jaguar sports car ever.
