1973 Jaguar XKE V12 Automatic.

Best color conbination of British Racing Green with Biscuit leather interior.

Body and interior are in excellent condition for a vehicle of this age.

I have recently spent over $5,000 (With Receipts) on a Top Engine Rebuild after a Valve Seat had dropped, at that time I decided to replace both Head Gaskets, have the Heads Machined and Rebuilt as required.

A brand new Cool Cats Alloy Radiator, new Thermostats, Water Pump and Hoses were also fitted $1,500.

Performance Jaguar Spin-On Oil Filter assembly have been fitted this system allows the use of a XK-8 fiter and dispences with the messy cartridge style OEM.

This is an Air Conditioned car and the system blows ice cold.

The car is fitted with an Electronic Ignition System, replacing the Opus Amplifier Module which typically failed due to location in the engine compartment.

Won Best Foreign Sports Car at the Texas Spring Fling Classic Car show in Rosenberg 3rd April 2011.

An excellent Web Site. The history checks out, the previous owner was resident in Florida.
Pity I did not get the receipts of the work carried out in Florida as this car has had lots of money spent on repairs & upgrades.

Description
1973 Jaguar E-Type V12

FIN: UD1S74314BW, Laufleistung: 82.801 mls (abgelesen), Hubraum: 5.343 ccm/V12, Getriebe: 3-Gang Automatik, Farbe: grün/braun (Leder), Leistung: 250 PS, Papiere: Österreichische Einzelgenehmigung

1971 modernisierte Jaguar den E-Type rundherum. Die Karosserie wurde aufgefrischt, der lange Radstand wurde Standard. Technisch griff man nochmals ins Volle und bescherte der Sportwagenwelt einen 12-Zylinder ohne sonst üblichen Lärm. Mit dem neuen Motor hatte der Wagen Leistung satt und war luxuriös leise. So wurde das Auto zu einem angenehmen, komfortabel-schnellen Reisewagen.

Der gegenständliche Jaguar kam aus Houston, Texas, nach Österreich und wurde hier auch typisiert. Dem in klassischem british-racing-green lackierten E-Type bekam das sonnige Texas besonders gut - das zeigt sich auch an der Karosserie. Auf technischer Seite wurden 2011 der originale Motor und die Vergaser überholt, so hat der E-Type einen sauberen Lauf. Der Motor läuft nun wieder geschmeidig und ist auch trocken. 2012 wurden die Bremsanlage überholt und die Reifen auf den optionalen Chromspeichenrädern erneuert. Die Klimaanlage bläst eiskalt, ein Umstand, der in Texas wohl wichtig war. In Verbindung mit Servolenkung und Automatikgetriebe ist diese Katze auch heute noch von geschmeidiger Eleganz. Der gepflegte Innenraum macht es leicht, sich wohlzufühlen. Dieser E-Type ist ein ehrliches Auto, sofort einsatzbereit und in gepflegtem Zustand.
