This is a 1972 Jaguar XKE (E-Type) OTS Roadster – Series III Convertible.  


It is a remarkably beautiful car and turns heads every time it’s outside.  

This is a low mileage car with about 47K on the odometer.  

The 1972 model year was the 1st full production year for the new V12 configuration.

 

I’ve owned this Jaguar for about 11 years.  It has been garage kept through my ownership and never been in the rain.  I seldom drove the car in my 11+ years of ownership.  It is in excellent unrestored condition with paint being done by the prior owner.  There is no rust on the car and the body and undercarriage is straight with no accidents or damage.  Overall it is an excellent clean original and unrestored example.  All numbers matching with original engine, transmission, and drivetrain.  It has original real wire wheels with knock-off hubs.  This beautiful roadster is an automatic and has factory air conditioning.   I have a clean title for the car.

 

Interior is all original and unrestored.  Leather seats show some wear however, are in great shape.  Carpet and dash are in excellent condition.


Exterior is in great shape as well.  There is no rust on this car.  Under bonnet is clean and rust free.  Boot is rust free as well.  No rust in tire well or rear quarter areas.  Includes wire wheel spare with original jack, handle, knock-off wrench and hammer.  All original boot liners and covers

 

The convertible top is original and in excellent shape for a 40+ years old!  The top mechanism works perfectly and the top overall looks great.  The rear window is a bit yellow however still provides visibility.  The original tonneau cover is also included and is in perfect condition.

 

I also have the original owner’s manual and several other books that I will include with the purchase. There is one original key and I have a blank WASO key that will also be included (no longer produced). I have some spare parts that I purchased many years ago that I will also include.  I have a clean title for the car. Car has been tuned by local British car shop; new plugs, points, rotor, cap, and plugs.  Starts and runs great. 

 

The only items that have been replaced are the battery and starter.  The starter is a new high torque type and works great.  I have the original factory starter that will be included will the car as well. 


Hagerty's prices this out at $60-70K in current condition...reserve is well below that!  



 

Jaguar history

In 1971, the Jaguar E-Type Series III introduced a V12 engine to the model. Jaguar called it the "Ultimate Cat" and advertised the its inherent smoothness and absence of engine noise. The small block V12 displaced 5.3 liters and produced 314 horsepower. Along with the new engine, the body entire car was lengthened for additional cabin space. Along with the longer 105-inch wheelbase, the body had flared wheel arches, revised bumpers, and a large scoop under the front grill. Inside the V12 had an entirely new interior with new reclining seats, a center console, new door panels and a revised steering wheel. The dashboard retained much of the Series II layout, but included the 2+2 stowage areas above the floorwells.

Weekly Recap: Jaguar takes a leap with price cut, new strategy

Sat, Sep 5 2015

Jaguar was one of the famous automotive props and plotlines in the now-iconic drama Mad Men. There's a scene where the show's protagonist, Don Draper, deftly undercuts an influential Jaguar dealer by indicating that get-me-in-the-door local radio spots would be an effective way to sell cars like the slinky E-Type. The British executives think this is folly – Draper knows they will – and his advertising strategy wins out over the dealer's approach to move the metal. Jaguar's not doing that, but half a century later in the real world the company is launching plans to make its cars more attainable to new and younger customers like Millenials. These aren't coupons, but this is a leap for Jaguar, which has long banked on sexy styling and its rich motorsports history to overshadow its past mechanical flaws. Put simply, Jaguar is addressing the reasons why people, especially the younger set, don't buy its cars. The 2017 XE will start at $35,895 when it launches next spring – which makes it an attractive buy for a successful, relatively young person. When it's time to move up, the redesigned XF will be more attainable, coming in at $52,895, which is $5,275 less than the 2015 model. The flagship XJ sedan and the enthusiast-oriented F-Type sports car will also get thousands of dollars worth of added standard features, and Jag is actively pitching them as a better value than their competitors. "The Jaguar brand is on the eve of a major transformation that will see it dramatically increase its presence in the United States luxury marketplace with an expanded lineup, pricing focused on the core of the luxury market, and an all-new ownership package with best-in-class coverage," Joe Eberhardt, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America, said in a statement. The brand's quality and reliability dings have also lurked in the back of buyers' minds for decades, though that's an outdated notion. Jaguar placed third in J.D. Power's Initial Quality Study in June and was the top-ranked luxury brand in J.D. Power's Customer Service Index in March. Not content, the company is rolling out an enhanced program called Jaguar EliteCare that launches on 2016 models. It offers a five-year, 60,000-mile limited warranty, the longest among its competitors, with free scheduled maintenance during that period. The plan also covers roadside assistance and connectivity features.

Jaguar In Its Purest Form
Jaguar has spent a lot of time, money and engineering effort refocusing itself for the modern world. In 2006, the current XK replaced the former XK8 and introduced a new aluminum-intensive chassis architecture to Jaguar's portfolio, and two years later, the XF whipped up a similar overhaul to its classical styling department.
The next major revision came in 2009, with the introduction of the achingly attractive and completely new XJ sedan, and this step struck us as the biggest improvement yet; not only was Jaguar's flagship built atop a cutting-edge platform, it boasted a newfound sense of style that pointed toward the future while still echoing the brand's storied past. This trend has continued most recently with the two-door F-Type that we've already grown quite fond of.

Jay Leno hits the road in a 1951 Jaguar XK 120 Hot Rod

Thu, Feb 12 2015

The 1951 Jaguar XK120 featured in this episode of Jay Leno's Garage might look vaguely like a classic Jag roadster at first, but underneath this cat is something completely different. It was built by Leno's buddy Jason Len of XK's Unlimited when he grew tired of keeping these convertibles stock, and this aluminum-bodied beast was the result. Practically the only major Jaguar part left is the engine. It's a tuned 3.8-liter inline six from an E-Type with Weber carbs that makes an estimated 300 horsepower out of some gorgeous side-exit exhausts. The mill is backed up to a BorgWarner five-speed manual. However, the big surprise is the chassis. In place of Jag's original solution, Len has a custom tubular space frame that he claims sheds some 1,000 pounds over the stock example. There are still some classic Jaguar touches left, though, such as the fin over the driver's head that is reminiscent of the D-Type, and both the wheels and gauges are replicas based on that classic racer. Of course the best part is watching Jay drive this Jag hot rod. This big cat really knows how to purr.
