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 planning all-electric E-Pace crossover

    Mon, Oct 26 2015

    Jaguar hasn't quite finished rolling out the new F-Pace (pictured above), and already reports are circulating of another crossover model to join it in the near future. According to Automobile, it'll be called the E-Pace. Here's the kicker: it'll be all-electric. The E-Pace would take advantage of ultra-efficient aerodynamics in order to drop its drag coefficient to just 0.28 g, thereby increasing efficiency. It'd also be the first fully electric model from Jaguar, and would likely be even smaller than the sporty new F-Pace. Through-the-road all-wheel drive would give it poor weather traction, and the electric motors would provide plenty of low-end punch. The model would go up against the Tesla Model X and a potential production version of the Audi E-Tron Quattro concept revealed in Frankfurt. Rather than handle production in-house, the E-Pace could emerge as the mysterious upcoming model which Jaguar Land Rover is planning to have Magna Steyr build on its behalf. The factory in Graz, Austria has long built the G-Class for Mercedes-Benz, continues to assemble the Mini Countryman, and has also handled models like the Aston Martin Rapide and BMW X3. Automobile figures that Jaguar would need to make at least 20,000 units each year to make the model profitable. For comparison's sake, Tesla is projected to move about 33,000 Model S units in 2015. Even if the E-Pace falls short of this target, the project could be worthwhile for JLR purely for publicity purposes and to help cut its average fleet emissions. Related Video:

    2016 Jaguar XJR meets 1988 XJR9-LM at Silverstone

    Mon, Nov 16 2015

    The current Jaguar XJR is not the first Jaguar XJR. Not by a long shot. In fact there's a long and distinguished history of Jaguar production and racing models that have worn those letters over the years. So to highlight its lineage, Jaguar brought the 2016 model together with its nearly 30-year-old racing namesake to Silverstone. And it brought Andy Wallace along for the ride. Wallace won at Le Mans in 1988 driving the XJR9-LM. Designed for the race track and adorned with iconic Silk Cut livery, the XJR9 looks entirely different from the XJR luxury sedan you can buy today. And with a 7.0-liter V12 mounted amidships instead of the modern sedan's 5.0-liter supercharged V8 placed up front, they're mechanically different beasts as well. But it's not the difference in design, powertrain, or performance that Jaguar is highlighting in this video encounter. Instead, Wallace is impressed by the advancement of the lighting technology from the Le Mans racer he drove in the late 1980s to the sedan sold today. To hear him talk about how they used to use the headlights in the nighttime hours of the famously grueling endurance race is harrowing enough all on its own. Hear his story in the video above. NEW JAGUAR XJR MEETS XJR9-LM AT SILVERSTONE WITH LE MANS WINNER ANDY WALLACE AT THE WHEEL - Andy Wallace drives new Jaguar XJR and Le Mans-winning XJ-R9 LM at Silverstone - XJR9-LM – one of one million XJs now built – back on track at night for the first time since it won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1988 - Track session presents benefits of new Jaguar XJ LED headlights in day and night driving conditions - Wallace discusses new XJR headlight technology, which offers drivers more confidence, safety and performance at night - New short film captures all the action https://youtu.be/IgMxSkJb058 (Whitley, Coventry - 16 November 2015): Legendary racing driver and 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Andy Wallace relived his 1988 victory by taking to the Silverstone circuit to drive the Jaguar XJR9-LM during day and night back-to-back with the new 550PS, 5.0-litre Supercharged V8 Jaguar XJR. Wallace discusses his experiences in the XJR9-LM and the new XJR in an exciting new film available to view and share at https://youtu.be/IgMxSkJb058 Driving at night on the Silverstone circuit gave Wallace the opportunity to test the new LED headlights on the new XJ, which are a first for Jaguar. "Driving at Le Mans back in 1988, it was so hard to see at night," said Wallace.

    Porsche tops J.D. Power quality index as Korean brands soar

    Thu, Jun 18 2015

    While complaints about infotainment systems remain a thorn in the side of automakers for J.D. Power's annual Initial Quality Study, there's a lot to celebrate this year. The average number of problems reported per 100 vehicles fell to 112 in 2015 – a three-percent improvement compared to 116 in 2014. The results of this year's survey are based on the responses of over 84,000 people about problems within the first 90 days of buying or leasing a 2015 model-year vehicle. For the third consecutive year, Porsche tops the rankings with an average of 80 problems per 100 vehicles. Although, that's slightly more than the 74 the German sportscar maker scored in 2014. "While the Japanese automakers continue to make improvements, we're seeing other brands, most notably Korean makes, really accelerating the rate of improvement," Renee Stephens, vice president of US automotive quality at J.D. Power, said in the study's release. In fact, Kia ranks as one of the biggest movers in this year's list. The Korean brand jumped to second place from seventh last year. The company had an average of 86 problems per 100 vehicles, a 20-point improvement. Third place went to Jaguar with an average of 93 problems reported, versus last year's second-place finish with 87 of them. Fourth place was Hyundai, and fifth-place Infiniti also earned a gold star for improvement with 97 issues per 100 vehicles – 31-points better than last year. Fiat still anchored the bottom of the list. However, its 161 problems this year is a lot better than the 206 in 2014. Ranked by nationality, Korean brands (Hyundai and Kia) are now leading the industry in initial quality with an average of 90 problems reported per 100 vehicles. According to J.D. Power, this is the first time Europe's figure beat Japan with 113 and 114 issues, respectively. The American brands also averaged 114. Whereas General Motors dominated last year, the segment awards are spread out in 2015. GM, Hyundai, Nissan, and Volkswagen Group are all tied with four models each earning prizes.
