£74,995
A superb 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12, presented in classic red with a tan interior and equipped with the desirable four-speed manual gearbox.
This UK car has covered 65,150 miles and combines one of the most recognisable shapes in British motoring with Jaguar's magnificent 5.3-litre V12. As the final evolution of the legendary E-Type, the Series 3 offers effortless performance, power-assisted steering and significantly greater refinement while retaining the unmistakable character and presence of an E-Type.
Offered for sale by Competition Classics in East Sussex, this is an opportunity to acquire a highly usable V12 E-Type in an especially attractive colour combination.
Introduced in 1971, the Series 3 represented the final development of Jaguar's E-Type and brought with it the remarkable 5.3-litre V12 engine.
Producing around 272 bhp, the V12 transformed the E-Type into a sophisticated high-performance grand tourer. Power steering, uprated brakes, a wider track and revised suspension complemented the new engine, while the distinctive flared wheelarches and larger cross-slatted grille gave the Series 3 its unmistakable appearance.

The tan cabin provides an especially attractive contrast to the red exterior and reinforces the grand-touring character of the V12 E-Type.
