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. [ omitted ].
