Lot 90
1973 Jaguar E-Type V12 Roadster
Estimate: £70,000 - £80,000
Registration No:VLL623M

MOT:May 2018

- Original UK RHD manual example
- Interior re-trimmed, bare metal repaint, new front wings / doors / bootlid, engine overhauled, etc.
- Receipts on file for over £90,000

This very impressively-presented righthand drive home market Roadster has been the subject of a £90,000 refurbishment which included the front wings, doors and bootlid being replaced and the whole car treated to a bare metal respray in Black. The interior was completely retrimmed in Biscuit-coloured hide, the engine overhauled with new timing chains and a refurbished manual gearbox installed. The instruments were also overhauled and the original wiring replaced. First registered in London in 1973, 'VLL 623M' currently displays a mere (though unwarranted) 14,358 miles and is now seeking a new owner in time for some wind-in-the-hair spring motoring.

The Iconic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2025

1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3 Roadster - Manual

A UK-supplied Series 3 Roadster, smartly finished in gleaming black, retaining its original registration, fitted with a manual gearbox and presented in excellent order.

ESTIMATE: £55,000 - £65,000

Registration Number VLL 623M

MOT Expiry Exempt

Chassis Number 1S2361BW

Transmission Manual

Body Colour Black

On offer at the NEC Classic Car Show 2025 is this UK-supplied, right-hand drive Series 3 Roadster, finished in black with biscuit upholstery and a matching black hood. First registered in London in 1973, the car was supplied new to its first owner and still retains its original registration, VLL 623M.

The Jaguar is accompanied by a substantial history file, including receipts for a £90,000 refurbishment. This work included the replacement of the front wings, doors and boot lid, a full bare-metal respray in black, a retrim in biscuit coloured hide, an engine overhaul with new timing chains, and the installation of a refurbished manual gearbox. The instruments were refurbished, the dashboard upgraded for a more pleasing aesthetic and the wiring loom replaced at the same time. Although impossible to verify, our vendor believes the mileage showing to be correct and is substantiated by the documents within the file.

Acquired by our vendor in 2018, the car has been enjoyed regularly on trips across the UK and Europe, where the V12 engine’s effortless power delivery has been fully appreciated. During this period, it has been maintained by marque specialists and fitted with new stainless wire wheels and bumpers, fresh tyres and a new hood with tonneau cover. It's fitted with a retro-style Bluetooth stereo system as a nod to modernity. Most recently, in September 2025, the Roadster was inspected by a V12 Jaguar specialist in Coventry, who carried out tappet adjustments, fitted new gaskets and completed a full vehicle inspection, with the invoice on file.

A well documented, UK-supplied Series 3 Roadster, freshly inspected and maintained, offered in excellent order and ready to be enjoyed on the road or as part of a collection.
