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.

Jaguar F-Type SVR set to go topless

Wed, Aug 19 2015

Jaguar's sultry F-Type convertible will soon be getting sharper claws. We've captured the high-powered SVR variant during track testing, and these spy shots show huge air intakes and a prominent splitter up front. They're balanced at the rear with a massive spoiler and a central diffuser that breaks up the angled, jutting exhaust pipes. The cloth top is also evident, and it's presence has been expected. Previously, we spied the hardtop variant. This prototype looks ready for production, with the bodywork screwed down and the head- and taillights peering out. Even the black wheels with thin spokes wouldn't look out of place on the street. We also see the cross-drilled carbon-ceramic brakes. These massive stoppers will be required to slow down the 5.0-liter supercharged V8, which could make 600 horsepower. That blows by the 550-hp F-Type R and the limited production F-Type Project 7 (575 hp). The Project 7 can hit 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds, and we'd expect the SVR model to eclipse that figure. The F-Type SVR and its convertible sibling are part of Jaguar's strategy to remain to true to its sporting heritage – the company counts seven Le Mans victories – while adding vehicles like the F-Pace crossover and XE sedan to adapt to modern consumer preferences.

Stunning Jaguar collection with O.G. E-Type is a museum exhibit all on its own

Mon, Mar 4 2019

At what point does a personal automotive collection become a museum exhibit that's just not in a museum? Dr. Christian Jenny blurs the line between the two with his unreal lot of classic Jaguars that includes not only the first E-Type ever seen in public, but also the "Lost C-Type" and what is considered to be Jaguar's first sports car, the 1935 S.S. 90 Prototype. Switzerland-based collector Jenny is selling 12 cars individually through classic car broker Pendine Historic Cars Limited. The collection includes some of the most important Jaguars ever built, nearly all of which have open-air tops. It's so special, in fact, that Pendine has created an entirely separate tab on its website dedicated to the set. The 12-pack includes the 1935 S.S. 90 Prototype, a 1952 C-Type, the E-Type Series I fixed-head coupe (aka "The Geneva Launch Car"), a 1935 S.S. 90 "Captain Black," a 1937 S.S. 100 2.5 liter, a 1938 S.S. 100 3.5 liter, a 1949 alloy XK120 Roadster, a 1950 XK120 Roadster, a 1955 XK140 SE Roadster, a 1960 XK150 3.8 S Roadster, an E-Type Series I Roadster, and a 1972 E-Type Series III V12 Roadster. All of the cars have been beautifully photographed and recorded by Michel Zumbrunn, author of British Auto Legends: Classics of Style and Design. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Though every one of these cars holds heavy significance, the 90 Prototype, the C-Type, and the Geneva E-Type stand to be some of the most noteworthy in British history. The S.S. 90 Prototype is considered Jaguar's first sports car before the company was even called Jaguar. It has a sidevalve 2.6-liter straight-six engine that makes an estimated 90 bhp and has won numerous Pebble Beach Concours awards. For years, this C-Type was floating in the ether and earned the nickname "The Lost C-Type" when it was the only car of the 53 C-Types that was not located. It was raced for numerous years and has since been restored. Any E-Type is highly valuable, as it's largely considered one of the most beautiful cars ever built, but this specific car has extra history. The coupe shape was reportedly hand-built from an open-top model and became the first E-Type ever seen in public. The experimental prototype, chassis No. 885005, was on display at the 1961 Geneva show. Read more detailed accounts for each car and ogle the gorgeous photography, of which each car has plenty, at Pendine. As of now, only the 90 Prototype has an offer.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
