Earls Court Motor Show, 1961, the entire audience was in awe at the Jaguar Cars Ltd stand and the unveiling of the all new E-Type or XKE. The new sports car was so advanced and had performance that was unheard of for its time. Even Enzo Ferrari said “Perhaps one of the most beautiful cars in the world, too bad it doesn’t have a prancing horse on it”. The E-Type was capable of 150MPH and zero to 60MPH in less than 7 seconds. The E-Type continued on with three series, and three different engines. For model year 1971 Jaguar introduced the Series III with an all new 5.3 litre V-12 engine. The Series III became more refined and more GT like, the handling improved, brakes and suspension improved and the power was an endless supply of refined smoothness. Jaguar’s E-Type continued on to model year 1974 and many say has never been replaced since. It is possibly the quintessential sports car of all time and one of the most collected European sports cars. As the E-Type values continue to climb so does the desirability for one.

European Motor Studio is proud to offer this stunning Opalescent Silver Grey over Red Connolly leather 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III V12 Roadster. This Jaguar left the Coventry Browns Lane factory in March of 1973 and was invoiced to North America. The car is believed to have had three previous owners, all in the Florida or mid-west area. This E-Type has 64,995 miles showing on the odometer and believed to be 100% correct actual miles with a Box A actual miles title. The Jaguar 12 cylinder engine is a matching numbers engine has just undergone an extensive mechanical rebuild including the majority of the wiring and electronics and brand new rear springs shocks and bushings. All four cars have been rebuilt and tuned and the car has just undergone a full service. Just about all of the parts used on the car are original Lucas parts straight from Jaguar. It starts right up and idles superbly without any smoke or hesitation. The beautiful 12 cylinder note melodically comes out of the quad exhaust so harmoniously that only a Jaguar can give. Upon acceleration, it shifts through all of the gears with ease. The clutch feels extremely solid and shows no signs of slipping or grinding. The brakes feel very solid and free from any pulsating, grinding or squeaking. The suspension and steering have an excellent balance and solid feel to them, and give an outstanding balance of sport and comfort.

There are no real flaws on the paint anywhere and the body is arrow straight and free from any dings dents or rust. The undercarriage of the car is in excellent condition and does not show any signs of rust or previous rust damage.

The chrome wire wheels look stunning and show almost no signs of wear or use. The redline tires are brand new. The interior is all 100% original and still in stunning condition for its age. The beautiful Connolly leather seats are in outstanding condition for being 41 years and are still very soft and supple. The original carpets show very well with only some very lite markings. The dash board and switch gear are all in outstanding condition and show almost no signs of use. The only small issue is on the upper dash around the defrost screen, there is some lite lifting in the leather and a small crack starting right underneath where the handbrake rests on the lower center console. The factory correct convertible top appears to be fairly new and in excellent condition; with all of the components operating as designed. The convertible top boot looks to be original and still fits well on the car. All of the electrical components are functioning as designed, all of the lights, taillights, headlights, side marker lights, revers lights, license plate lights, interior lights, turn signals and even the fasten seat belt light and door/seat belt buzzer are all functioning. This E-Type is a fantastic driving car and has been well maintained its entire life. You would not be afraid to get in this car and take it to shows or go on long drives.
