1973 Jaguar E-type Series III V12 Roadster

Please Read All

MotorCarTrader.com is excited to offer another great classic Jaguar. This truly special 1973  Jaguar E-type Roadster was owned by the same meticulous owner for about 25 years and as we understand about 15 of those years this car spent in a museum. This great Jaguar started its life manufactured on February 21 of 1973. The Silver with black interior color combination is original to this car with all matching numbers (Heritage Certificate included). The date of dispatch was March 26 of 1973.  This Jaguar E-type was originally sold new by Tink’s Auto Mart to Southwest Underwriter Insurance Compnay Inc. of Fayetteville, Arkansas on July 24 of 1973.  We do have the original metal ownership stamp with this car with original owners name and address, as well as the original owner’s trifold book, owner’s operating and service handbook, original automobile logbook and shop manual. This is certainly one of the cleanest original Series III cars available and that we have ever seen.  

In addition, to being a great original car, this car is mechanically sound and one of the best driving E-type Series III cars available. The previous owner spent over $20,000 once the car came out of the museum ( it was sitting for a while) to make this car an excellent driver. He did drive and enjoy the car, which makes these cars very happy. The oil pressure at hot idle (once warm) is excellent at 40 pounds. The compression is also excellent of 130 to 135 across ALL 12 cylinders. It is easy to drive and shifts with no noises in any of the gears with a good feel on the clutch. Furthermore, the car steers with ease and has plenty of power. The ride is very nice and it handles extremely tight. All switches work and gauges are functioning properly as well. This car was repainted at one time (in the original color) and the paint looks beautiful. The car was driven carefully. The paint is not brand new, but still excellent on this car. This Jaguar does not show any signs of accidents or of ever being disassembled which is great for any Jaguar e-type to maintain the original feel of driving and structure.  The interior on this etype is original and one of the nicest keep original interiors we have seen on a Jaguar E-type.

More info on this Jaguar:

  • Only 58,594 original miles.
  • The cloth top and top boot cover looks like it was replaced at some point.
  • Included is the original jack and hammer with the car.
  • All chrome is excellent including the chrome wire wheels and spare wire wheel.
  • There is rust on this car anywhere. The spare tire compartment is in clean original condition with no rust and original padding and insulation.
  • A brand new stainless steel complete exhaust system has been installed.
  • The underside and floors are in excellent original condition with no rust.
  • The AC compressor is newer and the AC blows very cold.  

    Overall: This is a very nice Jaguar E-type Series III Roadster. It is wonderful driver and can be driven anywhere. Lastly, it is one of the more attractive Jaguar E-type Roadsters to be found. Jaguar E-type V12 cars are very hard to find in this original type condition, which have not been abused or “restored” or abused. This is a great and special investment car with excellent history which matches its gorgeous overall condition.

    Daily Driver: 2015 Jaguar XJL AWD

    Mon, Jun 15 2015

    Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, reviewed by the staffers who drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 Jaguar XJL AWD, reviewed by Seyth Miersma. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: [00:00:00] Hey everybody, it's your old pal Seyth here with Autoblog. I am in the 2015 Jaguar XJL. That L is for a long-wheelbase. The engine powering this car is the 3.0-liter supercharged V6. My cameras inside probably didn't pick up a lot of that, but the supercharged 3.0-liter does have a nice little growl to it, especially in sport mode [00:00:30] where I'm staying higher in the rev range. It doesn't have that same big, luxurious, meaty, whoofly V8 sound as the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter used to. At 340 horsepower, 332 lb-ft of torque, this engine has everything that you need. I think that they say the 0 to 60 time is around six seconds. Frankly, the car feels a little bit faster even that that. Again, we're talking about a large long-wheelbase car here. What's particularly interesting and [00:01:00] relevant to the weather that you see behind me right now, is that this car is not rear-wheel drive. It is in fact all-wheel drive. Even going into this, knowing obviously that I was in an all-wheel drive car, the first drive really reveals it to handle a lot like a rear-wheel drive vehicle. That's appropriate. That's what you want in a car of this class. Something very luxurious and that has a reputation built on sporting dynamics as opposed to sort of just comfort and refinement. [00:01:30] Jaguar's goal with an all-wheel drive system like this is to make the car still feel very much like a rear-wheel drive vehicle but give you just enough ability to be able to pull out of a corner smartly when the grip is a little bit lower than you'd expect it to be. Obviously if there's some snow on the ground, that's a helpful thing. Or on a day like today, when I'm coming out of a corner on a slightly slippery road, being able to put the power down is advantageous. To be honest, so far the application has been really seamless. The power seems to be [00:02:00] flowing from the engine just to the rear wheels. I feel like I'm getting a little bit of assist, right now I'm entering a corner at a moderate speed and not really slipping at all. It feels like a rear-wheel drive car. I've always loved this XJ.

    Evil Brits star in Jaguar's first-ever Super Bowl commercial

    Wed, 29 Jan 2014

    Chrysler's Imported from Detroit commercial from Super Bowl XLV is one of the most powerful car commercials in recent memory, and Jaguar is taking a similar approach - albeit with a more villainous spin - for its first-ever Super Bowl spot titled Rendezvous. While Chrysler and Eminem focused on hometown cheerleading, Jaguar is using its $8 million (the going rate for a 60-second commercial in this year's game) to play up the Hollywood tradition of typecasting a Brit as the bad guy.
    In the spot highlighting the all-new F-Type Coupe, Jaguar looked to director Tom Hooper (the man behind movies like The King's Speech and 2012's Les Misérables), who filmed on location in London with British bad guy actors Mark Strong, Ben Kingsley and Tom Hiddleston. As the commercial implies, Brits make perfect bad guys with their style, sound and power, which are all traits evident in the F-Type.
    The commercial will air in the fourth quarter of this Sunday's game, but you can watch it now in the video posted below. Jaguar has also included a press release as well as a second behind-the-scenes video showing how the ad was made.

    We should probably call this the Jaguar Fast Pace

    Tue, Sep 20 2016

    Jaguar appears be working on a high-performance R variant of its slinky F-Pace crossover. But, it has done an excellent job of hiding that in these spy shots. There really are no visual indicators that this test car is anything special. The lights, grille openings, and even exhaust all appear to be standard-issue F-Pace. According to the spy photographer, what doesn't come across is the sound of the crossover, which he reports is quite loud, thus this strongly sounds like the F-Pace R. We expect at least 500 horsepower, and the ute could borrow the V8 from the F-Type R, or run a new, tuned-up version of the V6. We would lean toward the F-Type R V8. Since that engine has also been used in the performance version of the XF, which shares other powertrains with the F-Pace, it would likely be the easiest to drop into the crossover. We also aren't sure when this fast-paced F-Pace will come to market, but the wait probably won't be too long.
