Customized dashboard with burlwood details

Tonneau cover

Original radio

The interior of this E-Type is in very good condition and features refined custom burlwood panelling on the dashboard, commissioned by its second owner, a leading racing driver.

Comfortable and welcoming seats reupholstered in blue leather, flawless door panels, precious new electric blue carpets and a colour-coordinated soft top and soft top cover create an environment of irresistible charm and add a touch of luxury and exclusivity which further distinguish this car.

The iconic Motolita three-spoke steering wheel with wooden rim is enhanced by the enamel horn button in excellent condition with Jaguar branding.

The instrument panel houses two large circular Smith dials, while auxiliary gauges and a long row of switches are housed in the center console.

The automatic transmission features an elegant custom wood finish and the modern stereo system is well integrated. The original radio is available, yet to be installed and kept in its original box.

All surfaces are in very good condition, free from scratches or discolouration, with shiny brightwork and intact plastics.

On the third series E-Types the seats are comfortable and well padded and, despite sitting just a few inches from the road, the driving position is ideal and visibility is excellent.

In this E-Type, the great attention to detail and the exquisite specifications make the passenger compartment particularly luxurious, giving it the flair of a highly refined and prestigious grand tourer.

This roadster is capable of performances which are still impressive today and, thanks to the generous torque of the powerful V12 combined with the automatic transmission and the power steering, it guarantees smooth, silent and refined driving and remarkable pick-up.

The incomparable melody created by this glorious engine is made even more engaging by the handcrafted exhausts fitted on this car, which make every press on the gas pedal an experience that would delight any enthusiast and, together with the great charm of the passenger compartment and the sight over the long bonnet while driving, gives unforgettable emotions.

The clean and intact underbody is in very good condition, without any sign of rust or leaks.

Extremely elegant, this E-Type stands out on the outside as on the inside for the careful attention to detail and the refined and timeless colour combinations, fully expressing the new soul of the latest 3 Series, closer in nature to upmarket grand tourers from prestige brands such as Aston Martin, Jensen and Maserati than to the aggressive, uncompromised sports cars that inspired the first E-Types.

By opening the long bonnet of this E-Type, which also includes the fenders and gives ample access to the mechanics and chassis, we can admire the recently repainted engine compartment and the excellent level of presentation of the powerful 5.3-litre V12 engine, one of the few twelve cylinders available in those years.

Fueled by four carburettors and equipped with electronic ignition, this engine produces 272 hp and lots of torque.

The mechanics of this car, scrupulously fine-tuned by its current owner, have been completely overhauled and the seller guarantees that each component is efficient and in excellent working order.

All the seals and gaskets have been replaced recently, including those on the engine.

The gearbox has recently been overhauled and the Stromberg carburettors have been disassembled and restored by expert mechanics and are fitted with new floats.

The shock absorbers are new and the steering and front end have been carefully serviced.

The braking system has been completely overhauled, with the replacement of the pump, brake servo, calipers, discs, pads and all the pipes.

The exhausts were custom built and provide an engaging sound. The original exhausts are in good condition and will be delivered with the car.

The beautiful knock-off wire wheels wear new whitewall tyres.
