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.

    Jaguar F-Type gets even more British with Design Edition

    Wed, Jan 6 2016

    Short of maybe driving a Morgan while wearing tweed and smoking a pipe, automobiles don't come much more quintessentially British than a Jaguar. But now the F-Type is going to be even more so with the launch of the new British Design Edition. It's based on the six-cylinder F-Type S, but upgrades with a series of special touches to set it apart. Red, white, and blue are the dominant colors from which buyers will be able to choose both the exterior color and that of the interior contrast stitching. The leather interior comes in black, and those less patriotically inclined can spec the outside to match. The British Design Edition also features 20-inch wheels in dark gray satin finish, packing upgraded brakes with red calipers. The Design package comes standard with upgraded aero, as does the 12-speaker Meridian sound system. And naturally there are special insignia inside and out. Buyers will be able to choose between coupe or convertible and rear- or all-wheel drive, but either way motivation comes in the form of JLR's 3.0-liter supercharged V6, driving 380 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Only 300 units will be coming to the United States, with prices starting at $92,100 (plus a $995 destination charge) – representing a substantial $14.8k premium over the $77,300 price of entry for an F-Type S Coupe. Spec one out with similar options and you'd be looking at $86,250, which makes the privilege (and resale value) of acquiring the limited edition a $5,850 proposition. Any way you cut it, though, the elbow patches cost extra.

    Newest Spectre trailer shows DB10, car chases, awesomeness

    Wed, Jul 22 2015

    It's not due in theaters until November and it's not like we've detected any weaknesses yet, but here we are with another trailer for the upcoming James Bond film, Spectre. That is not a complaint, because it looks like it's going to be, as one YouTuber said, "Spectretacular!" We digress. This time we get a little more of the Aston Martin DB10, including the top line for the spec sheet: Q says it will do 0-60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds. Putting on the hat that lets us sincerely debate totally fictitious facts in a totally fictitious universe, we don't think that's fast enough to stay away from the villain's Jaguar C-X75, but it's not like Bond needs to when he's got flamethrowers. So there. You 'll find the latest bout of awesome in the clip above, and look for all the throwback cues. Christoph Waltz dresses like one Ernst Stavro Blofeld and uses the same interior decorator. Bad guy Dave Bautista in a three-piece suit is remarkably reminiscent of Oddjob, and there are various nods to On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Enjoy.

    Ian Callum, Brian Johnson and Lord March pick 10 top Jaguars

    Thu, 11 Sep 2014

    An automaker with as rich a heritage as Jaguar is bound to create a few experts along the way... and some divergent opinions, too. So on the eve of the debut of the new XE, Jaguar brought together three experts to whittle down the long list of classic Leaping Cats to just ten.
    For this gargantuan task, it brought in Ian Callum (who, as the company's chief designer, knows a thing or two about Jaguars), Lord Charles Henry Gordon-Lennox (the Earl of March and founder of the Goodwood Revival) and Brian Johnson - who may be better known as the frontman of AC/DC, but also a classic car enthusiast, collector and racer in his own right.
    So what did the designer, the nobleman and the celebrity choose? The SS100, XK120 (namely number NUB 120), the C-Type that competed at the 1953 Mille Miglia, the D-Type that won at Reims, the Mk II sedan, the E-Type that served as the Geneva show car, the one and only XJ13, company founder Sir William Lyons' personal XJ6 S1, the TWR XJS touring car and the 1988 Le Mans-winning XJR-9.
