    Car to be at auction 11/15
    www.silverstoneauctions.com/1972-jaguar-e-type-series-iii-v12-roadster-6253

    Auction description:
    NEC Classic Motor Show Sale
    Lot 340
    Registration: European registered
    Chassis Number: 1S1630
    Engine Number: 7S8954SB
    Number of cylinders: 12
    CC: 5434
    Year of Manufacture: 1972
    Estimate (£): 70,000 - 80,000

    Manufactured on 15th November 1972, this original UK right-hand drive E-Type Series 3 V12 roadster was delivered to a Mr R. E. Wray by Botswood of Ipswich, Suffolk, bearing registration 'URT 264L'. The owner prior to our vendor exported the car from the UK into Europe and owned this E-type for 17 years before passing the baton on to our vendor who purchased the car in 2005. A year later, it was decided that the roof needed replacing, so a new hood was sourced and fitted and in 2007, the car was stripped back to bare metal, any necessary body repairs were undertaken, and the whole car was fully resprayed. Sadly however, a year later paint blisters had started to appear on the body, and so the decision was made to have the car resprayed professionally.

    After a number of years of routine maintenance and service work, it was time to have the heart of this 'big cat' examined, and so at the beginning of 2015 the engine was taken out and dismantled, ready for a full inspection and rebuild. The work included:

    Stripping and rebuilding the gearbox
    New clutch & release bearing
    New water pump
    Renewal of carburettors, nozzle needles and nozzle holder
    New timing chain, chain wheels & adjuster
    New stud bolts on exhaust side of both cylinder heads
    Renewal of valves & guides, and machined valve seats
    Reground cylinder head
    Polishing of crankshaft and renewal of crankshaft bearings.
    New pistons & bushes

    Along with the comprehensive engine overhaul, other areas of the car were fettled to ensure the rebuilt car performed as well as it looked. This extensive restoration work eventually totalled more than 25,000 Euros and the car now looks fabulous and drives as you would hope after such major surgery. There are lots of photographs detailing every aspect of the rebuild in the accompanying history file, as a well as a Jaguar Heritage Certificate.

    Now ready to return back to the UK after many years away, this car will need to be MoT'd and registered with the DVLA to obtain a UK V5c and registration. For many years, the Series 3 lagged behind its elder siblings in terms of desirability but no more, and the fruits of many hours of labour can be enjoyed with this E-Type Series 3.

    Manufactured on 15th November 1972, this original UK right-hand drive E-Type Series III V12 roadster was delivered to a Mr R. E. Wray by Botswood of Ipswich, Suffolk, bearing registration 'URT 264L'.

    Two owners before our vendor, the car was exported from the UK to Europe, and the then custodian owned it for 17 years before passing the baton onto the next owner who purchased the car in 2005. A year later, it was decided that the roof needed replacing, so a new hood was sourced and fitted. In 2007, the car was stripped back to bare metal, any necessary body repairs were undertaken, and the whole car was fully resprayed.

    After a number of years of routine maintenance and service work, it was time to have the heart of this 'big cat' examined, and so at the beginning of 2015 the engine was taken out and dismantled, ready for a full inspection and rebuild. Work included:

    Disassembling and full overhaul of gearbox
    New clutch & release bearing
    New water pump
    Renewal of carburettors, nozzle needles and nozzle holder
    New timing chain, chain wheels & adjuster
    New stud bolts on exhaust side of both cylinder heads
    Renewal of valves & guides, and machined valve seats
    Reground cylinder head
    Polishing of crankshaft and renewal of crankshaft bearings.
    New pistons & bushes

    Along with the comprehensive engine overhaul, other areas of the car were fettled to ensure the rejuvenated car looked as good as it performed. This work totalled more than 25,000 Euros and there are photographs accompanying the history file, as a well as a Jaguar Heritage Certificate.

    Since purchasing the car, our vendor has now had it UK registered and it now wears the registration '8668 BY' and a MoT certificate gained. The interior has been fully re-trimmed in black leather, a new exhaust fitted and other routine service work carried out to ensure this lovely V12 E-type looks even better. For many years the Series 3 lagged behind its older siblings in terms of desirability but no more, and the fruits of many hours of labour can be enjoyed with this E-Type Series III.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
